Lightweight and elegant, the Fable Tank is the perfect piece for transitional weather and effortless layering. This sleeveless top features our Scroll yarn, creating a beautifully textured body that flows into a delicate lace yoke. Subtle shaping and gentle pleats at the back create a graceful drape that flatters every silhouette. The result is a breezy, feminine knit, ideal for pairing with jeans, linen skirts, or your favorite summer trousers.

PATTERN NOTES
This top is knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up, starting with a provisional cast on. The cast on is unpicked to create a turned hem. The Front and Back are divided at the armholes and worked flat. The shoulders are joined using a three-needle bind off. Stitches are picked up for the armholes and neck edging and worked in the round.
