This simple, square neck tank is knit from the bottom up in garter stitch with your choice of working in the round with subtle side seam detailing or flat and seaming it as the final step. Easily customizable by adjusting the length of the body or straps, it’s time to make yourself a gushy summer tank top!!
Needles & Notions:
Size US 6 / 4mm circular needles *
Stitch markers, an extra needle in a similar size for a three needle bind off and a tapestry needle
* cable length will vary based on size
Sizing:
XS(S, M, L, XL) (XXL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL)
Finished Chest Measurement:
26(30, 34, 38, 42) (46, 50, 54, 58) inches;
66(76.25, 86.25, 96.5, 106.75) (116.75, 127, 137.25, 147.25) cm
This garment is meant to be worn with 4-12” / 10-30.5 cm of negative ease. I recommend the lower end of the size range to aim for 4-8” / 10-20 cm of negative ease, and the upper end of the size range to aim for 8-12” / 20-30.5 cm of negative ease. I am pictured wearing the size Small with 5” / 13 cm of negative ease.
Gauge:
18 stitches & 34 rows/4” on a US 6 / 4mm, in garter stitch in the round and/or flat, blocked.
If you are working the top in the round, you will be alternating a knit row with a purl row, so this gauge could vary significantly from working garter stitch flat. I recommend working your swatch in the round or at least double checking your gauge once you have worked about an inch or so on the tank top.
