Featuring a pretty scallop lace edging on the bottom hem, this light-weight tank is the perfect project for warmer temperatures. Knit with a silk blend yarn, the beautiful drape of the fabric compliments the simple lines of this sleeveless top, making it a wardrobe staple for years to come. This top is knit from the bottom-up, in the round until the underarm, when the front and back are worked flat and seamed at the shoulder. I-cord edging at the armholes and neckline provide a polished finish to this classic tank.
