Simple and elegant, this flattering summer top is one you’ll reach for again and again. Knit bottom up and in pieces (or in the round), this easy tank has lovely fullness at the hem.

Pattern has been updated to include directions for knitting the top in the round, up to the armholes.

A soothing knit in a washable silk yarn, this top has a minimal edge treatment. Should you choose to knit it in a different fiber, be sure to wash or steam your stockinette gauge swatch for potential rolling. You may need to add additional rows to your edging.
