A fun, sporty tank that’s perfect for summer, the C St Tank is a collaboration with Bri of thelittlewolfknits. We wanted to provide sister patterns in both knit and crochet so that all makers could have their own perfect tank! Featuring a high crew-neckline and two bottom hem options, you’ll whip this up in no time and be wearing it all summer long!

Want to make a knit version of this tank as well?? Find the knit version here, designed by Briana Luppino!
