PATTERN DESCRIPTION
A modern summery top ~ perfect to wear breezy on its own or layered over dresses, high waisted skirts, pants or over swimwear.

An easy level knitting pattern ~ perfect for adventurous beginners!

Its knitted flat, with no tricky shaping required.

The neckline and armholes are created by the drape of the knitted fabric.

Knitted bottom up ~ with 2 identical squares (or rectangles, depending on overall length), seamed on the sides and shoulders.

The yarn is held double ~ creating a contemporary stitch profile that is bulky, yet light weight and super soft.

If you’re an experienced knitter ~ you can knit in the round, omitting the side seams / divide front and back / knit flat from the base of the armholes.

SIZE OPTIONS
The tank has a relaxed fit with approx. 5cm positive ease. The fabric is stretchy and very giving. Measure your chest circumference (in centimetres) - then select the corresponding SIZE from the 6 options below;

SIZE 1 / 81-86 cm
SIZE 2 / 91-97 cm
SIZE 3 / 102-107 cm
SIZE 4 / 112-118 cm
SIZE 5 / 122-128 cm
SIZE 6 / 132-140 cm

If you want a regular fit go for your regular size. If you want a looser style, go up a size. Or if you want it tight fitting, go down a size.

The design is semi-cropped to layer over the top of garments or worn with high-waisted garments. If you want to knit this longer - make sure you have extra yarn, as you will knit a few more rows - and if you want to make it extra cropped knit a few less rows.
