Knitting Pattern for summery crop top with short sleeves, round neck and a decent striped pattern at the lower body in sizes XS | S | M (L | XL | 2XL).

Structure:
The tee is worked in stockinette stitch in rounds and in rows bottom up. Start with the hem in 1x1 ribbed pattern, then work in stockinette stitch in rounds and according to the colour change pattern until you reach the required length to shape the armholes. Now, front and back part are worked separately back and forth in rows to shape the armholes. For both parts, you will work decreases to shape the shoulders. For the front parts, there will be additional decreases to shape the round neck. Then, close the shoulder seams with the mattress stitch and pick up stitches along the armholes to work the sleeves in stockinette stitch in rounds. They are finished with a hem in 1x1 ribbed pattern. Finally, pick up stitches along the neckline and attach a collar in 1x1 ribbed pattern to the round neck.The fit of the simple, basic summer tee is cropped and therefore the perfect match to high waisted jeans, pants and shirts. The sleeves end shortly above the elbows and the fit of the top is comfortable with a little bit of positive ease for a breezy, airy and summery look.
