A size inclusive tank top to get you through the hottest of days with enough coverage to wear to the office. This boatneck tank features an all over broken seed stitch pattern for just a bit of texture and optional bust decreases for a more fitted look. Wear it by itself while out in the heat or under a cardigan to keep warm in a freezing office building.

This pattern is knit top down and seamlessly. A perfect knit to do on a commute.

Yarn Estimates
