Skill level: Fluency knitting

Cicada Cropped Top

This quick and enjoyable knitting project is perfect for confident knitters. It features a simple leaf pattern that naturally increases stitches as you go. Just take care when working the edge
ribbing, as it requires some stitch decreases. Once you complete the first repeat of the pattern, the overall structure becomes easy to understand. The front and back pieces are knitted separately and then sewn together.

The 4-page PDF includes a chart, schematic, detailed written instructions, and some photo tutorials to guide you through the process.
