The Cocoa Tank Top is a simple yet elegant lace top, featuring a textured pattern, by alternating between lace sections and stockinette rows. The construction begins at the back neck, where stitches are cast on and increased along the shoulder lines before working the back down to the underarms. Stitches are then picked up for the front, where neck increases shape the neckline before continuing to the underarms. From there, the front and back are joined, and the body is worked seamlessly in the round to the given or desired length.
