Sister Peplum | V-Neck Tank
Design Information
Sister is a top-down, double v-neck tank featuring delicate eyelet accents at the neckline, armhole, waist, and hem. Sister is worked flat, back and forth in rows, from the shoulder cast on to the armhole shaping when stitches are joined for working in the round. Stitches are decreased for flattering shaping from the upper chest to the waist, and stitches are increased from the waist to the high hip to create the peplum. Once the top is completed and blocked, stitches are picked up around the neckline and armholes to work the eyelet trim.
The sample is knit with Cascade Ultra Pima Fine, a 100% pima cotton yarn that is perfect for all your warm weather needs and smooth next to skin. You’ll find yourself pairing this with high waisted shorts & jeans, skirts, and chic trousers for office wear under a cool linen blazer.
With its delicate lace accents and comfortable fit, Sterling will be a thoughtful addition to your everyday handmade wardrobe.
