The Slate Horizon Crop celebrates the beauty of simple shapes and thoughtful construction. Worked sideways from cuff to cuff, the fabric grows in horizontal bands of open crochet, allowing the subtle speckles of hand-dyed yarn to drift across the stitches. The design begins as two matching rectangles, joined along one long edge to create a soft shoulder seam while leaving an opening for the neckline. Small fastenings at each side form wide sleeves, and the contrasting edging frames the cuffs, adding a clean, modern finish. Designed for fingering-weight or sock yarn, this lightweight cropped top is ideal for layering over camisoles, dresses, or swimwear. Whether you choose softly tonal shades or bold hand-dyed colourways, the simple construction lets the yarn take centre stage while creating a garment that's both relaxing to make and satisfying to wear. Pattern is written in English and uses UK terms.
