Worked in yarn made
from recycled denim, this boat-neck shell is as comfortable as your favorite
pair of jeans, with crocheted lace to soften the neckline. Worked in two
rectangles, this crocheted top can be modified for your perfect fit: make it
longer or shorter, modify the armhole depth, add waist shaping.
