Bobbles & Crochet Crop Top

A little top I knitted up just for a bit of fun. 

I had never knitted a vest by hand before so just wanted to play around with it.  I used a DK cotton for the top half, which gives it a satisfying weighty feel; then continued by increasing my stitches and knitting in simple stocking stitch, using a fine wool yarn.  

I added a row of bobbles down the front to help break up the plain knitting and add that little 'clown' touch to things...

Then finished it off with a crochet scalloped edge.

It's simple, but it fits.  So I'm happy with it!
