Café au Lait is inspired by that perfect peaceful moment at your favorite coffee shop, watching the steam rise from your cup and not yet rushing into the day.

This classic tank with a twist is worked in stockinette with reverse stockinette rolled edges at neckline and arm openings. Steam-inspired I-Cord detailing is added as a surface modification after knitting the tank. A folded hem lends a clean finish, and cleverly contains the I-Cord ends.

Café au Lait is offered in chest sizes 30 – 66”, in petite, medium, and tall heights. Instructions are given with and without waist shaping.

  • Instructions are given in tall, medium, and petite heights.
  • Pattern is written in bust/chest sizes 30 (34, 38, 42, 46, 50) (54, 58, 62, 66) inches 75 (85, 95, 105, 115, 125) (135, 145, 155, 165) cm.
  • Sizing for this pattern incorporates 10 inches of negative ease at the chest. For example, the model has a 42 inch (105 cm) chest and is wearing size 42 Tall, which has a finished chest measurement of 32 inches (80 cm). If you would like less negative ease, choose a size with your desired chest measurement.
