A chic and sexy tube top that is close-fitting to the body. The tube top is knit in the round using a luxurious blend of silk and extra-fine merino wool in a rich color blend for added drama. Ribbon adds a splash of femininity and ensures that the top stays in place.

The pattern also includes two options for knitted straps to convert the tube top to a tank top. It’s as easy as choosing a strap style, knitting 2 straps and sewing them onto the top band of the top.
