Welcome to the Toprak Tank Top pattern!

Toprak means earth or soil in Turkish. It represents the
quiet strength beneath our feet, the concept of grounding, and the quiet beauty of things made to last.

The Toprak Tank Top is a fitted, twisted rib tank featuring a deep V-neckline and clean, sculptural lines. The fabric creates a close-fitting silhouette, while thoughtful shaping offers a comfortable and flattering fit.

Designed to be worn on its own or layered throughout the seasons, it is a versatile staple for any handmade wardrobe.

I hope knitting Toprak is as enjoyable as wearing it, and that it becomes a piece you reach for again and again.
(This pattern is part of the Toprak Set. Complete the look with the matching Toprak Skirt).
