This tank was inspired by my daughter’s favorite swimsuit tankini top. Features a conservative neckline and criss cross racerback straps in the back. Testers used a variety of yarns including 100% merino, 100% cotton, 100% acrylic, and cotton/acrylic blend. Layer with a cardigan to transition to your fall or spring wardrobe.

Sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) with bust width of 26” (29”, 32”, 35”, 38”, 41”, 44”, 47”)

Recommended Ease -5 to -1 inches. Please choose a size this many inches smaller than your actual bust size.

Pattern includes waist shaping which reduces the width of the waist by 2 inches for each size.

Yardage estimates per size
425 (450, 475, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700) yards. Please allow extra yardage if you would like to make it a longer length.

Gauge is: 18 sts and 11 rows in 4” of double crochet. Keep in mind when blocking your swatch that the fabric will stretch more in width than in length when worn.

Sizes 2-6 have been tested. If you are interested in testing size 1, 7, or 8, please contact me and I will send you the pattern.
