About
A playful tank knitted top-down in the round. You can choose between two stranded colorwork charts (cherries and daisies), and can customize the length by adding extra colorwork repeats or by extending the bottom hem. There is a small amount of waist shaping with instructions on how to add more, as well as optional short row shaping to add length to the front with a curved hem.
Sizing
Graded for 28” - 60” (71cm - 152cm) bust sizes.
Gauge
22st / 25 rows = 4x4” (10cm x 10cm), with US 7 (4.5mm) needles
Materials
Cascade Fixation (98.3% Cotton / 1.7% Spandex) is the recommended yarn for this pattern - it’s super stretchy, soft, and makes this fair isle tank extremely comfortable and summertime-friendly. You are welcome to substitute for another yarn that meets gauge! A suggested alternative: DROPS Cotton Merino
