Knitting and crochet work together seamlessly in this feminine tank. The knitted body fits and flatters while the crocheted ruffles at waist and shoulder add the flirty and intricate details we love. This top can be easily dressed up or down, looking just as at home with jeans as with a flounced skirt.
