This cute little tank started out as a mistake. It was intended to be a part of another design I was working on, but I ended up not liking it for that particular project. It languished, partially completed, in my knitting bucket for about three months. Then I felt bad for it and decided to rescue it.

This design is worked seamlessly from the bottom up. The only sewing you will have to do is along the hems. This top is very sleek and fitted. I am also including instructions to adjust the waist shaping and length if you happen to be petite, or (like me) short-waisted. Be forewarned…there is some really random, crazy shaping along the neckline and armholes. It’s a bit of a challenge to keep track of it. Some of the shaping is done on the wrong side, as well.

Need to be different? Here are a few suggestions:
• As always…feel free to substitute yarns and colors. Just be careful with gauge. Summer type fibers such as cotton or linen might work well for this in warmer climates.
• If you’re feeling vampish, start the neck shaping sooner for a deeper slit (just space out decreases evenly. Shy? Start neck shaping later, or work the front flat.
• Go crazy with the ribbon. There are tons of options out there. You could also use other materials, such as a strand of pearls, beads, etc. You can use something different every time you wear it.
