Working a traditional lace pattern in a wide tape yarn gives this tank a modern edge. Even though the yarn is classified as bulky weight and works up quickly on large needles, the tape construction and fiber mix give it a wonderful drape.

SKILL LEVEL

knitting, duplicate stitch grafting, picking up
stitches, short rows, and three-needle bindoff.
See Techniques section beginning on page
