Lattice-like lace and soft linen fibres make for a dreamy warm-weather tank to wear on outdoor porches nibbling on tarts full of berries. With a delicate crew neck and subtle shaping, it’s a silhouette you’ll want to wear all season long.

PATTERN NOTES
The (reversible!) tank is worked in two pieces and then seamed at the sides and shoulders. A thin garter edging is worked around the neckline and armholes to finish it off.
The pattern is written to include a Garter stitch selvedge edge for smoother seaming.
The pattern is designed for 12 sizes. It is advised that you highlight all numbers relating to your size throughout before beginning. When only one number is given, it applies to all sizes. When a zero is used, no stitches are worked for that size.
The lace pattern is worked at the same time as waist shaping, so to help maintain the pattern, just remember that every yarn over needs a matching decrease. If there isn’t room to work a yo/dec pair, then just knit those stitches. If there isn’t enough space to work a double decrease with both its yarn overs, then you can work one yarn over and a k2tog/ssk instead.
The stitch pattern is both written (Stitches Used) and charted (p 3) for your preference.
