The idea behind the ENNA top was to create a cashmere undergarment that warms you around the body all year long. But the simple and timeless tanktop works excellent as a stylish summer top using cotton, silk or linen yarns, too! It’s worked bottom up in the round, then separated at the underarms to work back and front. Finally, shoulder straps are joined with the 3-needle method. The pattern contains some special techniques to get neatly finished edges and curves. (To get the perfect length, you can also choose to work the hybrid method, use a provisional cast-on and work the upper part before finishing the body.) Please share your knits on social media (Instagram #ENNAtop). The pattern looks familiar to you? You’re right, it is very similar to the SASUtop, but the neckline (especially at back) has been changed, the pattern is simplified a lot and the gauge is different.

Have always a bit more in stock to be on the safe side. if you have limited yarn, it’s recommended to start with a provisional cast-on, finish the upper part and then work top-down until you run out of yarn. The technique is described detail in the pattern.
