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.
