Crop Sweater (Blue Poppy/Navy)
The Crop Sweater is an extension of our popular Knit Crop Top. Drawing inspiration from the carefree charm of mid-century seaside fashion, this sweater captures the essence of breezy boardwalk strolls and bonfire nights.

Designed to fit like our beloved Knit Crop Top, it perfectly complements our high-waisted shorts and bell bottoms. Whether you’re chasing sunsets or cozying up on a crisp fall morning, the Crop Sweater adds effortless charm to any ensemble.
It's not just a sweater—it's a homage to a time when swimsuits were made of wool. This is your grandma's beach sweater!
- 🌱 100% cotton yarn
- 🧶 Color block
- 📏 Cropped length and scoop neckline
- 🎨 Matches our blue poppy and navy bottoms and bikini
The History
While conducting our regular Hammies R&D, we learned that the first swim and beach brands of the 20th century started out as knitting mills! The original swimsuits were made of wool and left almost everything up to the imagination. As the pastime of swimming grew in popularity, Catalina (founded in 1907 as Bentz Knitting Mills) and Jantzen (founded in 1916 as Portland Knitting Company) shifted away from knitting sweaters and into knitting swimsuits. The swimsuit went on to push the limits of American fashion and modesty for the next 40 years. If you want to learn more, we recommend Making Waves: Swimsuits and the Undressing of America by Lena Lenček and Gideon Bosker. This explains why we see so many people wearing beach sweaters in vintage photos and ads from the 1950-70s.
