I made this tank in the summer of 2016, after being inspired by all the knit tanks I was seeing at Aritzia.

The tank is worked in two flat pieces and joined at the shoulders. Neck and armbands are added but optional if a more unfinished look is desired. Side ties hold it together – these can be knitted, braided or ribbon or leather straps can be used.

Additional Notes:

• this is an intermediate level knit
• basic understanding of garment shaping and knitting acronyms is required
• techniques include: stocking stitch, ribbing, decreasing, binding off, picking up stitches, 3 needle bind off
• read through all instructions before proceeding
• each line below correlates to a line in the knitting

Materials required:

• Approximately 550 yards of lighted worsted weight cotton yarn
• 4.5mm knitting needles
• 5.5mm knitting needles
• stitch holders
• stitch markers
• sewing needle to weave in ends
