DESCRIPTION
A little bit of lace, a little bit of stockinette, and a whole lot of charm—the Little Lace Crop is a beginner-friendly tank with sweet details and a feminine flair. Featuring wider straps that taper out at the shoulders and delicate i-cord ties at the back, this slightly cropped top is equal parts playful and pretty. Lace got you nervous? Don’t worry—this 6-round repeat is super beginner-friendly, and you’ll only need to focus on two of the rows. Simple, approachable, and totally doable.

Knit from the bottom up, this tank is intended to be worn with 3.5–5.75”/9-15 cm of positive ease for a breezy, relaxed fit. The square neckline in both the front and back, paired with wider straps that taper out, gives it a timeless silhouette with just a hint of flirt. Whether you throw it on with high-waisted shorts or your favorite summer skirt, this cotton cutie is ready for sunshine.
