The Icing on Crop Top is a textured crop top made with chunky weight yarn that is easily adaptable - whether it is the length of the sleeve or adjusting where it crops. It is a pretty quick work up and great for seasonal transitions, cool summer nights, or simply layering in the (home) office when the AC kicks on.
