The Swell Crop top is a lightweight cotton tank top designed with breezy summer nights in mind. It is worked bottom-up, in the round with added straps after the body is complete. For a fitted garment, I recommend sizing down. Coloring is completely customizable. You may use as many or as few colors as you would like. The sample was created using 5 colors.
