This versatile knitting pattern offers you the choice between a classic crew neck and a stylish V-neck variation, allowing you to tailor the look to your personal style. You can opt to knit a hip-length tee or a trendy cropped version, making it a fantastic choice to pair with high-waisted trousers or skirts. Additionally, you'll have the option to select either a closed hem or a split hem, providing further customization to meet your fashion preferences.

With numerous options for necklines, hems, and lengths, the Mengeti pattern offers ample opportunity for personalization, enabling your creativity to shine.
