A wonderful top to just throw over a swimsuit on the beach or to spruce up a regular tank top.

The pattern is written for a size medium, however it can be easily adapted by adding or decreasing stitches in multiples of 2. A shorter or longer top is easily done by adding or subtracting rows from the body.
I used 4 skeins of Crelando Thea yarn in the ocean colourway that I was gifted from Europe.

Materials needed:
US 9 and US 15 needles
Aran weight yarn (299 meters)
Tapestry needle
Scissors to cut ends

Skills used:
Long tail cast on
