Happy knitting during coming spring! Kharkiv Summer Top is a cute crop top with textured rib looking pattern, square neck and wide straps.
It’s perfect for summer wearing with high waist jeans and shorts during vacay or just in town.
This top can be totally reversible as the textured pattern looks cute on both sides.
It worked pretty quickly using fingering weight yarn held double or single strand of heavy dk weigh yarn.

Top is worked bottom up seamlessly in the round. Straps work back and forth in rows.
