This design includes 2 versions. The original (featured in the multicolor) and the MINI (features in the aqua). Both patterns have color-coded and black and white PDFs.

A day at the lake, at the beach, poolside or a laidback barbecue are the perfect places to sport the Lake Mermaid Tank. This oversize fit tank top features a high-low split hem, an open “V” back and a deep cut triangle top bust design. This top is ideal to wear over a bikini or bralette, as it is breezy and shows off a lot of skin, and it is knit in cotton for the ultimate cool summer fabric.

This is an advanced beginner knit. Skills required for this knit are basic stockinette and seed stitches, mattress and horizontal invisible seam stitches, decreasing (K2tog, P2tog, SSK, SSP) and weaving in ends.
