The SIMPLE LINEN TANK is a lovely open weave and boxy tank top, perfect for hot summer days!
An easy level knitting pattern, made with 2 identical squares (or rectangles - depending on overall length), seamed up on the sides and shoulders.
Knitted flat, with no tricky shaping required. The neckline and armholes are created by the drape of the knitted fabric.
If you’re an experienced knitter, you may prefer to knit in the round - omitting the side seams, dividing front and back, and knitting flat from the base if the armholes.
