I have always been fascinated by the beach. I can stare endlessly into the deep sea waves and be at peace with the world. The ocean waves both calm and center me. I am tied to it in many ways. Something always keeps pulling me back to the sea, whether it’s a day of fun for my family, or whether I just need to find a bit of respite from day to day life.

Tied to the Ocean is a tank top that is worked from the bottom up, the main portion being worked in one piece and the center strap and smaller straps attached after the piece is knit.
Sizing is rather flexible, and I have added additional instructions for those who are a bit bustier. It was designed with 1-2” of negative ease in the bust and hip for a tank that will stay firmly in place, while hugging your curves. Tied to the Ocean is designed to skim your hip, but length of hip can be adjusted to your desired length.
