An elegant lace detail adds a touch of femininity to this flattering everyday tank. The sassafras flower inspired the unique focal point of the tank. A wardrobe essential, the tank will be your number one choice for fun in the sun. Knit in summer appropriate organic linen, its form fitting design is customizable accentuating your best curves.

The Custom Shaping Calculator debuts with this design. The calculator calculates your perfect hips, waist, and bust fit within the given limits of the tank.

The tech edited & test knit intermediate level pattern includes written directions with the lace fully written and fully charted for 12 sizes. The pattern also includes a schematic, custom shaping calculator, and how to video.

• This pattern is worked seamlessly from the bottom up worked in Stockinette stitch with a lace detail. At the underarms, the garment is split in two parts, back and front, with the lace detail continuing up the front.
• If substituting fiber, reduce or skip the shoulder short rows and work even until desired length. They are included to accommodate the unique drape characteristics of 100% linen.
• See “Inside the Self-Hemming Cast On” on the Knit Eco Chic blog for a video demonstration of the technique.
• The “Custom Shaping Calculator” (also available on the Knit Eco Chic website) ensures you get your perfect fit. The calculator provides custom shaping directions for transitioning between the given sizes.
