The Mini May Tank is a child’s version of the popular May tank. It’s worked by making front and back separately, commencing in the center and working out in the round until the desired size is reached. You then work back and forth on sides and along the top to create the neck, straps and to widen the sides. Front and back are seamed using a crochet seaming method with borders added after seaming. The Mini May Tank can be worn alone or layered over a t-shirt or turtleneck.
