By The Bay Tank
The By the Bay tank is worked by knitting the back and front panel seperately before joining in the round just below the arms.
The pattern comes with 2 different options you can either choose to knit the key hole or just knit a plain tank.
The tank is also reversible so you can wear it with a boat neck at the front and a keyhole at the back.
These I-cord edges add a decent amount of fabric to the tank to give it more coverage.
