Keyhole Tank is a simple tank top I designed with a keyhole element at the back neck and a V-neck at the front.
The construction is mostly top down but to avoid seaming at the shoulder, I start at the base of the V-neck going up to the shoulder and then continue knitting the back of the shoulder to reach the same length as the front part. After that only knitting in the round to the bottom of garment.

No seaming and no picking up stitches needed.

Keyhole tank was designed without bust or waist shaping but the ribbing at the sides and the bottom will act as the subtle shaping, this is depend solely on how tight or loose your tension while doing the ribbing through the back loop.

Size option available for XS - XXL
Finished measurement for the garment: 70 (80, 90, 100, 110, 120) cm / 28 (32, 36, 40, 44, 48)“
