The Cold Shoulder Tank is a one-shoulder tank top perfect for hot summer days or layering under a cardigan or sweater. The piece is worked bottom-up. The body is knit in the round, then split to work the front and back. Because the front and back of the top are the same, you can wear the top on either shoulder. The top features a tight gauge and thick under-bust twisted ribbing, making it easy to go braless or use the top as a bralette.

SIZING INFORMATION
The Cold Shoulder Tank is designed to have 2in/5cm of NEGATIVE ease. This means that the finished piece will have a bust circumference that is 2in/5cm SMALLER than your bust measurement. The bust measurements for the sizes are as follows: 28-30 (32-34) 36-38 (40-42) 44-46 (48-50) 52-54 (56-58) 60-62in / 71-76 (81-86) 90-96 (101-106) 112-117 (122-127) 132-137 (142-147) 152-157cm
ex. if you have a bust measurement of 44 inches, you would subtract 2in, making your target measurement 44 inches, and would knit a size L. If you are in between sizes, size DOWN unless you are wanting neutral or positive ease.

Sizes XL, 3XL, 4XL, and 5XL have not been tested. If you would like to receive the pattern for free in exchange for your input on the sizing, that would be great! Feel free to message me on Ravelry, through Email, or on Instagram
