Searose Tank

In an effort to balance financial affordability with fair, sustainable pricing, I have adopted a Pay What Works pricing model. This allows you to pay what you are able while valuing all of the work that goes into making each pattern. The price listed reflects what I believe to be the true value of the pattern and the work of all those that make the pattern possible.

The Searose tank is a wonderful transitional piece that can take you from the cool days of early spring, into the heat of summer and through the chilling of fall. Rippling ocean waves in syncopated brioche create an A-line shape that allows the fabric to float away from the body creating flattering drape that will help keep you cool as the temperature starts to rise.

The Searose Tank is knit bottom up, in the round from the hem to the underarms. It is then split and the front and back are knit flat separately and the shoulders are seamed using mattress stitch. The entire tank is knit in brioche with increases and decreases forming the wave pattern on the sides. Stitches are picked up around the neck and armholes and bound off using an i-cord bind off to create a finished edge. Instructions for the wave pattern on the sides of the tank are provided in charted form only.
