Perfect Striped Tank is an everyday basic that can go with jeans or skirt - stripes are classic so you really can’t go wrong here. I wanted the top to have thin textured stripes for a bit of variety so I opted for garter ridge stripes. Any color combo you like would work well here! Knit in Line, a worsted weight summer blend, it ensures a quick and effortless knit resulting in a classic piece. Rolled edges and minimal finishing complete the top.

YARN CHOICE
Worsted weight summer yarns, cotton, linen, hemp blends are a great choice!
