DESCRIPTION

MOONLESS is a cool color-blocked summer day dream of a tank, designed for play in both the knitting and the wearing. With deep armholes and wide shoulders, Moonless features a boxy, sporty silhouette that is equally well-matched with your favorite cut-offs or layered over a linen sundress. The pattern includes 9 sizes, options for cropped or full length, and yarn requirements and instructions for making a 1- or 2-color version.

SIZING

All of my garment patterns are #sizeinclusive to fit up to at least a 60”/150cm full bust circumference.

FINISHED BUST/CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE:
In inches: (36, 40, 44) [48, 52, 56] {60, 64, 68}
In centimeters: (90, 100, 110) [120, 130, 140] {150, 160, 170}

To choose your size, measure the circumference of your torso around the fullest part of your chest and choose a size that fits with 4-6”/10-15cm of positive ease.

In the photos, Jacqui is wearing a size 7 (60”/150cm) with 6”/15cm of positive ease at the chest.
