The sweltering summer doesn’t stand a chance with this featherweight soft tank. Simple knit and purl textures add just enough textural interest, while the construction, worked from the top down, ensures just as much as ease as those lovely summer porch swing days.

PATTERN NOTES
This tank begins at the neck edge. The circular yoke is worked in the round. Stitches are bound off at the top of the shoulders, and the front and back are worked separately to the armholes. The body is then joined and worked in the round to the lower edge.
