The Fiamma Brioche Crochet Tank is inspired by the flickering movement of flames—Fiamma meaning “flame” in Italian. Worked sideways in a squishy stitch that mimics knitted brioche, it’s as fun to make as it is to wear. To make things even smoother, the pattern includes helpful progress tables designed to take the pressure off pattern-reading and let you truly go with the flow. Whether you’re dressing it up or layering it casually, the Fiamma Brioche Tank is destined to become a favorite—both on your hook and in your wardrobe.
