Notes

The pattern suggests 0-4” of ease. I’m knitting size 32” for 2” of positive ease on my 30” full bust.

I love this tank. Not only is it bright, cheery, and easy to wear, but it also contains memories of 12 other knitting projects- spring and summer tees and tanks. It is fun to give life to leftover yarn and incorporates those other projects into this one too.

White MC with pastel stripes. DK weight or fingering held double throughout. I wove in my ends throughout so that I didn’t have any finishing to do once the top is finished. Here’s a video showing approximately what I do. I highly recommend doing so!

Each DK CC stripe (full body in the round) used between 2-3g of yarn.

I picked up 4 fewer stitches in the armhole than recommended for my size (total of 108) since I found it just slightly lower than I wanted in the armhole before the ribbing was added. That seemed to work perfectly for me.

Due to the nature of working with a cotton linen yarn, I needed to go down two needle sizes rather than just one (per the pattern) for the ribbing. Also, I used a regular lifted bind off in ribbing pattern due to the sloppier look when I tried a tubular bind-off in the cotton linen yarn.
