Love this pattern? Every week, I send a short, chatty email about what I’m making, what I’m thinking, and what’s coming next. Sign up for the Truly Myrtle Mini-Mag! – it’s like a letter from the friend who designed this.✨

Marguerite Tank is exclusively available to Wardrobe Toolbox members until mid 2027.

Marguerite is the sleeveless top you reach for when the air is warm, the light is golden, and the daisies are out.

Knitted top-down in floaty fingering-weight linen that only improves with wear, she features a plunging V-neck, slipped stitches, delicate eyelets, and sweet picot edges – details that look effortlessly summery and feel oh-so-special.

Tiny eyelets shape her body into a gentle A-line, finishing with a lace hem that is as entertaining to knit as it is pretty to wear, and a final picot edge, falling just so over high-waisted skirts, trousers, and jeans.

Dress her up or dress her down – Marguerite is simply your best summer companion. Ideal for experienced and newish top-down garment knitters with a thirst for summery adventure.
