ABOUT & CONSTRUCTION
A lightweight summer tank that skims over your curves, with a hint of antique-inspired lace. This top is worked from the top down first flat for the neckline and then in the round with customizable bust, waist, and hip shaping. The bottom hem is finished with a simple lace design, which is repeated again for the neckline and straps.

GAUGE: 28 st, 38 rows = 4” (10.16 cm) on US 2 (2.75) mm needles in stockinette, after blocking -- or with whatever needle size achieves gauge

SIZES & FIT: See photos for full sizing chart! Sizes 1; 2; 3 (4; 5; 6) 7; 8; 9 are designed to be worn with 1 - 3” (2.5 - 7.5 cm) of negative ease at the bust, and neutral ease at the waist and hips. Choose a size based on your bust measurement. If you’re in between sizes, size down for a tight fit, or size up for a breezier fit. If you have a larger bust relative to your frame, you can choose a size based on the front chest width measurement and then customize with extra increases for your bust. You can also customize the waist & hips.
