Sister Peplum | V-Neck Tank

$10.00

Design Information

The Sister Peplum draws inspiration from the supportive bonds of sisterhood and community, evoking the quiet resilience of women who navigate the demands of life, family, and society with grace. Each eyelet accent underscores the softness within, serving as a tangible reminder to pause, take a breath, and gradually return your body and mind to a state of calm amid the ebb and flow of daily tides.

Sister is a top-down, double v-neck tank featuring delicate eyelet accents at the neckline, armhole, waist, and hem. It's worked flat, back and forth in rows, from the shoulder cast-on to the armhole shaping, where stitches are joined for working in the round. Stitches are decreased for flattering shaping from the upper chest to the waist, and then increased from the waist to the high hip to create the peplum silhouette. Once the body is completed and blocked, stitches are picked up around the neckline and armholes to work the eyelet trim. With its delicate lace accents and comfortable fit, Sister will be a thoughtful addition to your everyday handmade wardrobe.

Measuring for a comfortable, modern fit across 12 sizes, it's designed for sport-weight yarn like Cascade Ultra Pima Fine, knit on US 3-5 needles for a smooth gauge that's quick to knit in 1-2 hour sessions.

Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima Fine is a 100% Pima cotton sport-weight yarn (136 yards/50g) that's special for its silky smoothness, excellent stitch definition, and breathable lightness—creating a fabric that's soft against the skin with a subtle sheen and durability that withstands washing without losing shape.

For the Sister Peplum, Ultra Pima Fine works exceptionally well: its fine gauge enhances the eyelet accents' delicacy and peplum's flare, providing a refined, non-itchy drape that's perfect for warm-weather wear, while blooming beautifully after blocking to create an elevated, everyday tank.
