fanfan top

fanfan (翻翻) describes the act of flipping something over, or an invitation to do so (:
The fanfan top is a cropped tank with a boxy fit, designed for plant-forward yarn blends, constructed seamlessly from the top down. The fanfan pattern will show you how to get 4 combinations of textured effects + finishes from one basic pattern–not including optional color-blocking with scrap yarn!
This garment is designed with a deep neckline and dropped armholes, but the pattern will include minor modification options for more coverage.
