Center Of The You-Niverse it’s a fun and cute crop top. It’s worked with the construction style that everybody loves: top-down, seamless, and with a few short-rows to make that pretty neckline.

The body is cropped so it’s perfect to pair with a dress, a skirt or a pair of high waisted pants.There are a few decreases in the back to make the top fitted to your body and you can easily make it longer if you like to.

The instructions are for everybody too: completely written and complemented with a helpful chart for the lace yoke.

Short rows are optional in this pattern and you can knit your top without them.

I hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I did!
