City Singlet is a tank top knit from the bottom and up. Thanks to the long rib it is fitted in the waist before you increase as you make the charted colorwork pattern. You increase the same number of stitches on all sizes, so there is a more dramatic increase on the smaller sizes. The body is knit in the round until you separate for armholes and knit the front and back piece back and forth. The slim shoulder straps are knit in the round.
