Lakeisha is a beautiful two-color tank top that features delicate eyelets down the sides and slipped-stitch colorwork at the transition between colors. With wide shoulder straps and a close fit, Lakeisha is great to wear on its own or to layer under a cardigan. This tank is knit front he top down, beginning with the straps and then joining in the round to work in the round to the hem. Short seams join the shoulders and ribbed trims provide a clean finish. This is knit in Valley Yarns Leverett, a smooth and soft blend of Pima cotton and linen that is cool and comfortable to wear even as the weather heats up.
