This pattern took me a whole summer to do, (it took forever and didn’t come out perfect), but I’m pretty proud of it. From the front of the shirt, to the back it’s a rainbow. Based on this pattern https://giftofknitting.com/blog/how-to-knit-a-crop-top-free-knitting-pattern

Introduction I have two kids who I stay home with and pour my heart into. They are in 2nd grade and preschool. In, 2017, as a young mother of a toddler, I took advantage of learning how to knit from my grandmother. It was a great way to learn one of the skills she learned from her mother, my Nana, (who knitted, crocheted, tatted, made dolls, and much more.) I became very interested in knitting and my daughter was my little admirer. She watched me create items, saying Mama was “Making Yarn”. After awhile, I found it hard to find patterns for what I wanted to make. I decided to start a blog using the phrase “Making Yarn”, to  organize and share some of my projects. I hope this blog will inspire those who knit or crochet, or just enjoy hand-made items.
