This 3-color tank is knitted in two pieces from the top down. Yarn-over increases make decorative lace lines at the center; in combination with stitch decreases, they make a nice chevron stitch version. With cotton yarn, you can knit a lovely summer top. Wool yarn can be used to make a cold season vest.
