Notes :
This tank top is knit top down, starting with the straps, working the entire garment flat until the desired length. The front two panels will be connected on the back by creating a reinforced slip-stitch band starting at the right underarm, and connecting to the left underarm. Front bands are picked up to create the button band closure edge.
