Planting is over and the sun is sure to be shining! Cultivation lets the Vitamin D kiss your shoulders as you weed to keep your garden looking beautiful. Whether outside with a garden hose or tucked inside in your knitting corner while you watch God water for you, this halter seamlessly transitions from outside to in. Designed with the summertime heat in mind, this fun, no-finishing-required, top-down tank design features a modest lace detail on the halter, faux side seam details, and simple waist shaping.

The tech edited and test knit easy level (not beginner) pattern is fully written with a schematic. The lace is both written and charted. Three how-to videos are available on the Knit Eco Chic blog.
