Handkerchief Hem Fairy Tank Top

A modern granny square pattern for a handkerchief hem tank top by contemporary artist Kristen Stein. This fairy or pixie -hemmed lace crochet motif tank has a wonderful decorative bodice with flowy bottom edge. The lace motif design crochets quickly and with less than two skeins of yarn. It is designed as a ‘one size fits most’ pattern with suggestions on how to modify the piece for alternative sizes.

Gauge After the final round, one edge of the Motif should measure about 5” wide.

Finished Size Laid flat after blocking, the garment as shown measures approximately 9” wide at the neck and 10” wide at the arm openings. Total width is about 16” across the top (underarm) and increasing to 23” across at the hemline. The top is about 29 inches long from shoulder to hem, and about 13” long from the neck to the bottom of hem center and about 20” long from the underarm to the bottom point of hem. It is a “one-size-fits-most” pattern. The motifs are designed to stretch.
