Minimalist Sleeveless Boat-Neck Linen Tank Top

This minimalist sleeveless tank top is a wardrobe essential for women who favour quiet, understated shapes. A wide boat neckline sits gracefully across the collarbones, while the relaxed silhouette skims the body rather than clinging to it. Clean hems at the neckline, armholes and lower edge keep the finish simple and tidy, making the pattern approachable for newer sewists and quick to repeat for more experienced makers.

Linen is the natural first choice, giving the top its soft structure and breathable feel, though linen blends, cotton lawn, chambray and lightweight viscose all work well. Sew it in a pale shade for warm afternoons, or in a deeper tone to layer under a cardigan or open shirt once the weather cools. It pairs easily with wide trousers, jeans or a long skirt for everyday wear and travel.

Sizes run from XS to 5XL (XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on US Letter or A4 paper (one file for both), and it also includes an A0 file for printing at a copy shop. Each size is a separate file, so you print only the size you need.
