Mermaid tank top | Knitting pattern
Introducing Mermaid, a design by Louise Robert to knit this beautiful and feminine tank top that will become your summer favorite!
This top is stylish and elegant with its boat neck and delicate lace panel in the middle of the back. We were surprised to discover that the photographer had reversed the back with the front! We've concluded that this model looks just as good worn on both sides!!
The Algua Marina hand-dyed yarn used to create this design is a sumptuous blend of silk and Seacell, which is incredibly soft and has a beautiful drape that will make you feel special, like a mermaid! 🧜♀️
