This simple, square neck tank will be your go-to warm weather top. The unique neckline construction adds interest to an otherwise simple top. Designed to be slightly cropped but easily customizable to any length. Quick to make, this pattern is perfect for beginners and seasoned knitters alike!

This top is constructed from the top, down. First, you will shape the neckline and straps. Then, you will separate to increase more at the front and back body panels. Finally, you will join the body panels to work the body of the top in the round.

This top is available as a kit with Lion Brand Yarn. Click here to shop the kit.
