For the last st of round 33( 33, 35, 37, 39, 41 ), I made a sc instead of hdc (for a smoother finish) then cut the yarn and weave the ends.
*This is designed to be cropped, however; If you’d like a shorter top, just make less rounds. If you’d like a longer top or even a dress, just keep making more rounds to your desired length
If you’d like to make a short sleeve version, just weave all the ends and you’re done! If you’d like to make a long sleeve version, just keep on going with the pattern below.
