Sienna is a breezy tank top with a beautiful low crossover wrap look in the back, and simple eyelet detailing down the center front - the deep armholes and back make it perfect to pair with your favorite bralette! This design was created in collaboration with Dragon Hoard Yarn, using their Lore Sock base - thank you so much to Trysten for providing the yarn for the sample (Nemesis colorway used). Sienna is worked flat from the bottom up, with a unique construction. The straps are finished with Kitchener stitch, and no seaming is required.

Notes on sizing:

Sienna has been graded and written for 10 sizes, ranging from 31.5-67.5 in/ 80-171.5 cm finished bust. Sample shown is size 2 on a 34 in/86.5 cm bust; please note, the original sample shows a slightly looser fit at the bust, as the body shaping was added after-the-fact. Sienna is designed to have a very breezy fit, and is intended to be worn with a bralette/swim top/etc. Schematic with measurements included in the images section and pattern.

Recommended ease: 0-2 in/0-5 cm positive ease at the bust and 4-6 in/10-15 cm positive ease at the high hip (hip bones).
