Love is but an illusion, just like the heart on this tank!

The Love’s an Illusion Tank is casted on at centre back, then worked flat in once piece; using increases and decreases to shape the underarms and neckline. The last row of the project is grafted to the cast on row at the end. Edges are then picked up and worked in a simple finish.
