Toprak Tank Top

**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).* **What You Need** • Needles: 5 mm (US 8) circular needles (for body), 4 mm (US 6) circular needles (for ribbing). • Stitch markers, tapestry needle, stitch holders or waste yarn. • Yarn Used in Sample: 2 Strands of Alize Angora Gold (80% Acrylic, 20% Wool; 100g / 550 m per skein) • Used Amount in Sample (S Size): 105 grams in total. • Gauge: 16 sts × 22 rows = 10 × 10 cm in stockinette stitch with 5 mm needles. *Alternative Yarn Options Option 1 (Single Strand): 1 strand of Worsted or any yarn that meets gauge.
