Notes

I started 7-3-13 and finished 9-13-13. I worked this sleeveless tank with seven 50 gram skeins of vintage Bucilla Linora yarn, which is a linen/rayon/acrylic blend with a slubby boucle twist. I used a size G hook to work up the 40” width.

I lengthed the top band by adding 9 stitches to the foundation chain for each strap. I also reduced the rows on either side of the foundation chain to 4.

The heavily textured yarn gives this tank lots of structure. It feels like a snug but comfortable corset on…I like it very much.
