The Mochi Crop Top is a v-neck, half-backless crop top named after my cat, Mochi.

This is a great beginner top because you only need to know how to knit, purl, do some simple decreases and pick up stitches.

This is also a great stash-busting project for you to experiment with different colors in different amounts and get rid of some of those scraps and smaller skeins.
