About

This stunning top uses lines of rib stitches to create gorgeous texture. The vertical lines, square neck, and snug fit result in a modern tank top that is incredibly versatile.

The name comes from the lupine flower, with gorgeous, tall stalks of petals. The flower blooms in the early spring through summer, the perfect season to wear your Lupine Tank!

It’s also quick to make: just two identical panels sewn together. Though it’s simple to work up, the texture and details of this top result in a professional-looking piece.
