Andrea Gaughan’s Helianthus is a bright, summery tank top with a high neckline, lightly cropped length, and neat ribbed edges that create a polished finish. Here Helianthus is worked in lightweight Amano Chaski (60% superwash Merino, 30% Pima cotton, 10% linen), a washable, breathable yarn that combines drape, sturdiness, and comfort in a wide selection of cheerful colors.
Helianthus is available in 10 sizes and is designed to fit with 0-2 inches of negative ease. The sizes listed below correspond to the actual measurement of the finished garment, so to achieve the recommended fit, please choose a size that is 0-2 inches equal to, or slightly smaller, than your chest measurement.

- Size 2: 33.25” finished chest circumference

Each kit includes sufficient yarn for the size specified in the color of your choice, along with the pattern. We will purchase a copy of Helianthus for you via Ravelry, so you will automatically receive both a printed copy and an emailed PDF. If you would also like to have this pattern in your Ravelry library, please note your Ravelry ID (not your password!) in the "Notes" field in your cart!
Please note that this kit does not include needles. You will need US2 and US3 24-32” circular needles, and US2 and US3 DPNs (or size needed to achieve gauge). If you don't already have the appropriate needles at home, you can shop Spun's selection of circular needles here and DPNs here.
If you'd like to make your kit a gift (for yourself or someone else), or if you just wish to keep your new project tidy and organized, add the Spun Rope Handle Bag with Pin to your order and we will package your purchase accordingly!
