The Haiku tank top is a great warm weather or layering piece with simple, but thoughtful details. The body is fitted in a background of Stockinette stitch and highlighted with a simple and sexy lace trim along the deep V neckline and armholes.

The pattern is written for 12 sizes with separate bust shaping for 8 different cup sizes to give you a truly customized fit. Combined, this pattern gives you 96 options!
