A beautiful, gracious and lovely A-line top. This thigh-length tank looks lovely over a camisole or without one because the lace and cables are positioned for good coverage. Knit in linen, the stitches are crisp and open. Once blocked the knit will stretch and drape nicely. Guidelines are given if you wish to transform this top into a tunic.

The front panel is charted but there are also row-by-row written instructions. The back is knitted in stockinette. This top is knitted in the round to the armholes, then divided. The front and back are worked in rows to the shoulders and are then joined with a 3-needle bind-off. A crochet trim around the armholes and a knitted trim around the neckline.

The blue sample is knit in a size 34 (86 cm)as shown on the display photo for the intended fit. Additional photos show the same tank on a size 32 (82cm) and a size 36 (92) to help you decide on the fit you like best.
