The Xanadu tank top is knitted bottom up until the armholes and then the fronts and back are worked separately. The texture and colours come from using a plain and variegated yarn combined with slipped stitches.

The tank top is perfect for spring or autumn. Layer it over long or short-sleeved tees or a blouse. Choose a multi-coloured contrasting yarn for a jazzy look, or a plain one for a different effect.

There are 8 sizes, this is the circumference of the finished top:
84 - 91 – 95 - 102 – 109 (120 – 131 - 142) cm
33 - 353⁄4 – 371⁄2 - 401⁄4 – 43 (471⁄4 – 511⁄2 – 56) in

Yardage will vary depending on which yarn you use so these are guidelines.
