Knot Today
This A-line tank features a knotted racerback style construction. It’s a super fun layering piece for beach trips and warm weather frolicking. Knit from the top-down, this garment is the perfect canvas for your favorite mini skeins, fade sets, or single skeins that need a special place of honor!
Sizes
A (B, C, D, E)(F, G, H, J, K)
30 (34, 38, 42, 46)(50, 54, 58, 62, 66)” /
76 (86.5, 96.5, 106.5, 117)(127, 137, 147.5, 157.5, 167.5) cm actual bust measurement of finished garment
Choose a size between 2”/5 cm smaller and 2”/5 cm larger than your bust measurement for your desired amount of negative or positive ease.
Note: This tank top has an a-line shaping in the body which I believe to be a universally flattering fit. If you prefer to knit the body straight (with no increases), choose a size 2-6” / 5-15 cm larger than your bust measurement instead.
There are two neckline options: Single Scoop and Double Scoop. Melissa and Shanel are modeling the Single Scoop, which gives a modern high-cut neckline. Double Scoop features a lower neckline, more classic for tank tops.
