A slightly cropped summer tank with simple lace and garter details. Boxy in shape and a simple enough construction for less advanced knitters to learn new skills.
This top looks great in a bright color paired with high waisted shorts!

My size E tester wasn’t able to complete, so if you’re the first person to contact me wanting to knit that size, you will get the pattern for free :)

This top is designed to be more fitted on the bust and looser in the body. Choose a size that has around 2-5” positive ease for your bust size and 5-12” positive ease for your waist size.

Not all body proportions are alike though, so if your waist and bust are more similar in size, less ease in the body will be great too! Focus on the bust fit. Just make sure there are no areas of negative ease.

The sample shown in photos has 3.5” bust ease and 10” waist ease.
