This fashionable crop top has a deep ribbed welt, capped sleeves and turtle neck. The main body is worked in an all over cable pattern. It is comprised of two main pieces, the front and the back with the neck being knitted flat once one shoulder seam has been sewn up. The top is finished by sewing up the second shoulder seam and neck band and side seams. The neckband is then folded in half and slip stitched down on the inside of the neck.
