"I love that this top is soft and comfy, but I don't like that my bra straps show on the sides from the large, square neckline. I fixed that by crocheting around it. For my top, I used some Berroco Modern Cotton out of my stash, but any lighter worsted weight yarn will do.I picked this cotton blend because I am familiar with how it washes and wears, and I wanted something that would hold up well. This project took me just about an hour to complete, so you can do it early in the day, and wear it out at night! This pattern assumes you know how to sew a blanket stitch."
