About the Pattern

The Lets Circle Back to that Tank is the perfect tank for the summer! It is designed to generally be worn as a layering piece with deep armpits, a circular cut out on the back, and an airy plant based fabric. So, make your tank and show off your bralettes you’ve been making all year or your swimsuit right before you take a trip to the pool or beach!

The pattern is worked bottom up. It is initially worked in the round and the separated into three parts--where the front is worked in on piece followed by the back left and right parts worked separately and then joined in the end.

The pattern is written in US terms and is designed for about 6’’ of ease. As a note from a tester, if you are in between sizes, because of the large arm holes, it is advisable to size down.
