Glow up and bow up in this adorable crop top! This charming little sweater top has all of the girly details that will make you gush. Featuring a peek-a-boo keyhole in the back, an optional bow, and the perfect puff sleeves, wearing this top is sure to bring out your radiance!

This top is designed to be totally customizable to suit your unique preferences and make it your own. The neckline can be made higher for more modesty, the top and sleeves can be made as long as you like for your preferred coverage, and there are 3 keyhole options. You can do a small keyhole, large keyhole, or no keyhole, with or without the bow.

The top and sleeves are both knitted in the round from the bottom up, then seamed together. This sleeve is magical in that it is super easy to seam on! I designed it so that it fits perfectly into the shoulder and you can just seam it on without any special placement, and I even have a video showing you how I do it.

A full page photo tutorial is included for how to knit the short row shoulders, do a 3-needle bind off, as well as links to tutorials for all other techniques used.

Enjoy!
