The design is #sizeinclusive

Sizes available: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) to fit bust measurements 28-30” (31-34”, 35-38”, 39-42”, 43-46”, 47-50”, 51-54”, 55-58”, 59-62”) Pick the size that includes your actual bust measurement, taken around the fullest part of your bust with your favorite bra on (if applicable).

This garment is intended to have about 2-5” of negative ease & is designed to be snug at the bust so that it covers well & isn’t saggy. It is designed to have a straight silhouette & fall at about the height of a pair of mid-rise jeans, although it can easily be cropped!

Actual measurements of the finished & blocked garment at the bust are 25” (29”, 33”, 37”, 41”, 45”, 49”, 53”, 57”)

Supplies needed: fingering weight yarn, crochet hook(s), tapestry needle, scissors, tape measure or gauge square, blocking boards & pins, stitch markers.

Suggested yarn: fingering weight in 75/25 superwash merino & nylon blend. Yardage estimates: main color 435-485 (490-550, 565-600, 600-650, 700-775, 750-820, 900-980, 960-993, 1065-1120) secondary color 90 (90, 90, 90, 90, 180, 180, 180, 200). These figures are approximate and are based on tester feedback.

Look through the pictures to see the Sundial Tank modeled on each of my testers. Within the pattern there is more information from my testers including yarn used, hook sizes, sizing, and modifications made.

The Sundial Tank is worked in two pieces that are seamed together using the invisible seaming technique (there’s a video tutorial linked in the pattern). The back panel is worked side to side and then turned 90 degrees when seaming. The body panel is worked from the top down, with the border and straps added before seaming the pieces together. There are customization/modification options within the pattern for height, strap length, back panel height, waist shaping, and to change the height of the back where the two pieces are sewn together.
