Lisa Tank Top

The Lisa Tank Top is a versatile knitting pattern featuring a classic silhouette with a V-neck in the front and a deeper V-neck in the back. Inspired by the Lisa Sweater, this sleeveless design is a wardrobe staple that can be worn on its own during warmer months or layered throughout the year.

Worked from the bottom up, the tank begins with two separate sections of 1x1 ribbing that create 3-inch side vents. The sections are then joined to work the body in the round using stockinette stitch. The front and back are worked separately to shape the V-necklines, with slipped-stitch edges providing a clean finish. The shoulder straps are seamed together to complete the top.

Designed with 0 to 1 inch of positive ease for a close, comfortable fit.
