The Lavande Tank is bound to become a staple in your summer wardrobe! The texture of this simple and sweet summer knit resembles the rows in a lavender field – hence its name. This tank, knit in our Durable Double Four, is perfect for warm and sunny days, but you can also pair it with a cardigan or a denim jacket on chilly summer nights.

About this pattern

  • The pattern is written in 5 sizes: size XS (S, M, L, XL);
  • This pattern is worked flat, from the bottom up. Turn your work after every row. The front and back are worked separately;
  • The ribbing for the neckline is worked in the round;
  • Work the decreases in fisherman’s rib in pattern. This means that if you encounter a k1b when working a k2tog or k3tog, the decrease is also worked through the stitch below the one on the needle. You’ll have to insert your needle in the same way as when you would work a regular k1b.
