Bling Tank is the perfect versatile tank top, fab on its own, and as a layering piece. It features a beaded front bodice and seed stitch side panels. It features a randomly beaded front bodice where a random mix of beads is pre-strung onto your yarn and incorporated into your stitches as you knit.

Available in nine sizes, the Bling Tank is knit from the bottom up in two halves with a racer back and integrated adjustable straps. The front and back are “zipped” up with Laura’s cleverly constructed seed stitch side panels– this is a seam-free FUN knit.

The pattern includes videos that are a huge help!
