Mini Mock Neck Top is a mock neck tank worked seamlessly from the top down with subtle shoulder and arm shaping, and ribbed detailing at the neckline, armhole edges, underarm, and hem.

Picture this: you are on the beach enjoying the soft summer breeze. It is afternoon, the birds are a tootin’, the fish r a floppin’, and u r gooey from the sea. A gale approaches & u feel a little chill in your bones, but there is a secret no one knows. You have in your beach bag none other than the Mini Mock Neck Tank, and now you get to put it on. The birds will see; they will sing. The fishes will glug your praises & flap their gills. Your crush will sense an energetic shift in the wind and ask you on a date. How could you not knit this top, when all of nature & fate are asking u to???
