I love Graphgrams, especially when I can bring something cheeky to the image. This is a design inspired by the streets of Soho London, with neon lit signs advertising raunchy, dangerous, entertainments. You will get one version of the pattern which includes two ways of making the large design. The first is a colour chart and the second is written instructions. Use one, or both to make this a simple project. I then include details on converting the picture into a mesh tank top, with numerous sizing options to help you create something that looks great.

The design is made using 4ply cotton (category 2, sock yarn) to keep the garment light. I suggest a larger than recommended hook to keep the stitches loose and flexible. There is a lot of stretch in the finished item, so the sizing is only approximate. I have listed this pattern as “intermediate” because of shaping and pattern techniques.
