I am not a floral person. Not because I don’t like them, it is the other way around. I run a plant hospice, you could say. I send my plants to heaven. No matter how hard I try, they are determined to leave the planet Earth. So I decided to grow flowers that can never be killed. The Eden Tank was born out of my inability to turn my thumb green.

Notes:
Pattern is written as follows: 1(2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). All stitch counts and rows will be in the corresponding colour.
This top is constructed in panels, bottom up. It is designed to be a crop top, the bottom ribbing adds another two inches and is optional. If not doing the ribbing, you’ll need to add additional rows before beginning the yoke to compensate for the same.
The flowers are embroidered before the panels are seamed, and the ribbing after.
The Tunisian knit stitch is stretchy and the 2 inches of negative ease works perfectly.
Pattern is written in standard US terms. Pattern measures in inches.
It is written with -2 to +1 inches of ease. Please select a custom sizing option to get the perfect fit.
