Ginseng Pattern

By Sarah Hatton

Ginseng is a V-neck tank top designed by Sarah Hatton that is packed with intricate details along the neck and side seams with a 1×1 rib section at the top of the body. It comes with 2 length options – a shorter version or a longer version with vents at the lower rib. The deep V creates a flattering fit whether you wear it on its own as part of a beach look, with a shirt or long-sleeved tee for some added feature and warmth or as a more dressed item over a dress.

The front and back of the vest are knit separately and joined at the shoulders with a decorative 3-needle bind off. The sides are then seamed using the mattress stitch.

Ginseng is the ninth pattern from The Almanac Series.
