The Showstop Crop Top is a fitted halterneck piece that is flattering on all bodies.

The top is knitted from top to bottom in one piece. Since I know that a lot of you hate to purl it’s knitted inside out when the top is joined in one piece. Lastly, you turn it inside out, pick up stitches for the sides and knit your straps separately and sew them on.
