Named for my niece, Olivia, this tank top is a beautiful show stopper for a baby shower, or a lovely top for your special little girl. It is not a quick knit, but you’ll be glad you took the time!

It is knit from the bottom up in the round. The back, shoulders, and front are knit back & forth in one piece. The armhole rib & neck rib are picked up & knit to the garment, and the front pieces are stitched to the body. Each ruffle is then picked up around the garment & knit.


This tank top is worked in two different weights of yarn to achieve 4 different sizing options.

Spud & Chloe Fine is used for the 6-12 month and 18-24 month sizes

Cascade 220 Sport is used for the 2T and 3T sizes
