Daily Gelato is an essential part of summer, whether you’re at home or on the road! Now you can have your ice cream and wear it, too.

Yarn: Any fingering weight yarn that you get gauge with will work for this top. And making each row of ice cream different flavors is a great way to use minis or leftovers! No matter what colors you choose this tank is sure to keep you feeling cool and looking great all summer long.

Construction: The Daily Gelato Tank is cast on at the bottom and is worked in the round to the underarm. At that point the front and back are split and worked separately and flat.

Notes: In knitting this pattern it’s really important to 1. Choose a size with 0-4” of negative ease (the modeled pictures in this pattern show 1.5” of negative ease) and 2. Check your gauge very carefully. Many of my test knitters found that they needed 3 needle sizes for this pattern: one for the ribbing, one for the colorwork, and one for the stockinette.
