My basic sleeveless hand knit tank top serves everything from daily wear to special occasions. Dress it up or dress it down. Let the chosen yarn determine the degree of casualness or elegance, or apply a decorative stitch pattern for a unique look. Also see my similar Beaded Knit Top using a different yarn and gauge.

This is such a versatile top pattern. It also lends itself to the easy application of bust darts for a full tailored fit. See my Knitting Bust Darts Tutorial at http://www.conniehester.com/knitting-bust-darts.htm

Body is knitted in the round from bottom eyelet edging up to the armholes. Narrow shoulders provide a slenderizing look. Jewel neckline and armholes have knit eyelet edging and a single button closure at back neck. Measurements are included in the pattern instructions for all 8 sizes so that alterations may be made as desired.

Knit gauge in Stockinette Stitch (knit 1 row, purl 1 row) is 6 stitches by 9 rows per inch on Size 4 US needles.

Required Yardage: 600 (650, 750, 875, 950, 1075, 1200, 1340) yds
