A written pattern to make this simple cable knit tank top, slightly cropped with the option of adding elbow length sleeves. It is suitable for an accomplished beginner who is ready to take on their next cable knit design.

This tank top is neat fitting design that skims the body, it has a scoop neckline it knits up fairly quickly on 5.5mm needles.

4 sizes are included, each size has ease to fit across two sizes, from a UK size 8-10 to a UK 18-20.

To keep it as easy as possible to read, the instructions for the front of the top have been written separately as each size is subtly different in order to maintain symmetry and balance across the cables.

Both yarns have been tested for this pattern and they give very different textured finishes. It is a lovely design to wear, I have lived in my cotton tank all summer. THe cotton version has a significant amount of ‘give’ with wear, with the Felted Tween version having a bit more bounce as it is a slightly stretchier yarn.
