Cottage Garden

“I WAS inspired by my garden when designing this tank top: dark tulips, small cowslips, and remembrance of love in the mist, all on varying backgrounds of green with grey stone paths - and it would not be a garden without butterflies,” says Mary Henderson. “The neckline is square to give the impression of a floral edge. The tank top is knitted in the round with steeks at the armholes and at the neckline, finished with corrugated rib.”
