DESCRIPTION

The Super Basic Tank Top is a casual and relaxed tank top with a loose fit.
It is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch.
First the back is worked with some increases to define the widht of the shoulders, then you work flat until you reach the armholes. Next the two shoulder parts are worked separately by picking up stitches along the shoulders, increases are forming the neckline until the two parts can be joined. As soon as the armholes are reached, the front and the back can be joined to work in rounds until the body has the desired length. Then the neckline and the two armhole trimmings are worked by picking up stitches from the wrong side to work stockinette stitch in rounds and to be folded and sewn down on the right side.
