The Helix Crop Top takes a simple classic top shape and lifts it with the addition of a simple cable motif. Worked in 4ply weight it’s great for using a special one-of-a-kind skein. The cables are simple and perfect for cable knitting beginners. Worked bottom-up length can be easily adjusted by altering the length of the ribbing.
