Cropped Mini Vee
Skill level: Beginner/ Intermediate
The Cropped Mini Vee is a tank that is worked from the bottom up. It is worked in the round until you split the front and the back at the underarm. There is an option to add in waist shaping, with a smaller number of stitches being cast on and increases working up to the bust, or you can cast on the full number of stitches for no shaping. The front and back are worked separately, back and forth. The straps are then attached to each other using the 3-needle bind off. Edges are picked up and an i-cord edging is worked around the collar and arm openings.
