This is a very simple pattern, suitable for beginners in knitting. The very light summer tank is ideally combined with jeans, or in any other way you like. Knitted to be oversize.
The tank is knitted flat from botton to up, front and back sides are the same.

Materials:

  • Yarn: Approximately 350 (350,400 m) or 380 (380,440 yd) cotton worsted weight yarn (weight 3/Dk yarn) or blend cotton and viscose yarn. Please, when choosing yarn, make sure that the weight/yardage is about 100 gr =130-200 m (140-218 yd) I knitted this top using different types of cotton yarn or blend cotton and viscose yarn. The top in the picture is made from a microfibre yarn that was quite thin so I knitted holding the two strands of yarn together. So if you have a yarn that is thinner than weight 3/Dk yarn, you can use it, knitting with two threads of yarn together. In that case you need about 700 (700,800 m) or 760 (760, 880yd)
