Free Pattern Friday – Stardust Top

The Stardust Top is one of those knits that feels special the second you slip it on. Designed by Yonca Ozbelli and knit in Constellation, it’s lightweight, airy, and effortlessly elegant. With its split back and lace patterning, this top has the perfect mix of comfort and style that makes handmade pieces so easy to wear and love.

What I love most about the Stardust Top is how versatile it is. It feels casual during the day and instantly more elevated at night with just a few accessories. Styled with tailored trousers or a silky midi skirt, it has that soft, polished look that works perfectly for summer dinners and warm evenings out. 

Constellation yarn makes this piece feel even more special. This fine chainette yarn is soft and airy with a subtle shimmer running through it. Organic cotton keeps it breathable and comfortable, while polyamide adds durability and helps the finished garment hold its shape over time. Metallic fibers bring a gentle glow that adds depth and sophistication to every stitch. It’s ideal for airy knit and crochet projects that feel relaxed, refined, and comfortable to wear.

If you’ve been wanting to cast on a summer knit, this is the perfect time. Constellation yarn is currently 20% off with no code needed through May 24th, making it even easier to start your own Stardust Top.

Yarn love, always,

Angelina
