While I was organizing all of my samples a little while ago, I came across three Sunwoven Tank samples and have pretty much been living in them ever since! I designed and knit these over four years ago. The pattern withstands the test of time, it’s just so good. I love it layered in color weather and all alone in warmer days.

In the Sunwoven Tank, I again collaborated with Erin Barrett of Sunwoven Studios. Her weavings are what set this design into motion. I love the open drop stitch back detail and the creativity you have here to play with color and yarn!

Size 17 (12.75mm), 32”/81.5cm long circular needle

Fit note: Fit note: This style is intended to have 2”-6” of positive ease. The model is wearing size XS/S and has a bust measurement of 34”. I like this one a little loose as well since tight can get a little toasty in summer. The fit is very easy. It is completely up to you if you want to drop stitches in the back – we do that last so you are free to opt out very easily. The turtleneck is also optional.
