Description
The Crop It Like It’s Hot Top is a seamless, textured halter top that I’m hoping becomes one of your favourite go-to summer chunky knitwear pieces (because that’s a thing, I swear). And with the weather warming up, I had no choice but to crop it like it’s hot. Common, you had to have seen that pun coming. Made with super bulky yarn, you’ll be able to whip this one up in a sitting or two.
