The Lieblingstank
Garment description:
The Lieblingstank is a cropped tank top designed to be fitted to your body. It is worked bottom-up: a wide ribbing band accentuates your waist & the body is then done in colorful stripes of various thickness. The rounded neck and armholes are then finished with applied i-cords. All this mixed with some subtle texture make it a fun statement piece in your closet. It is perfect to be worn on its own on a hot summer day (especially if knitted with cotton) or to be layered as a vest during colder months (especially if knitted with acrylic or wool)!
