The Sweet Cake Top is a sexy and feminine top down crop top knitted in the round featuring a stripe of dropped stitches on the waist and finished with ruffle lacy sleeves and an I-cord edging for the neckline. The lace ruffle sleeves are the icing of the cake!

You can adjust the lenght of the top to your liking!

First the shoulders are worked flat one piece at a time, then front and back are joined in the round and worked until the waistline where the dropped stitches and ribbing are worked.

The top is finished with an i-cord in a contrast color for a neat and beautiful neckline.

It is an advanced-beginner top with an easy construction and some ‘knit and chill’ rows combined with exciting drop stitches that create a see-through stripe at the waistline combining with some eye-catching ruffled sleeves with mock cables!
