Mandala Crop is worked seamlessly from top to bottom.
The neckline is shaped by short rows.
This top knits up very quickly as its body length and sleeves are very short and yarn weight is big.
I recommend you to try your top leaving live stitches on extra circular needles or waste yarn, before you start knitting the bottom hem to make sure that you will have enough length on the body.
