The Sol Top is a classic tank top knitted in all over stocking stitch with folded trim straps. The simplicity of the shape and stitch allows for experimentation with yarns and colours. We have knitted ours with 2 colours held together to create a marled effect, and also experimented with a striped scrap yarn version.

Knitted in one piece from the bottom up, the Sol Top is knitted in the round until reaching the armhole, then worked flat on half of the stitches to form the back and then the front. Stitches are picked up around the armholes and trims knitted in the round, casting off whilst folding the trim in half.

This pattern provides easy to follow detailed instructions using the following techniques:

Long tail cast on, knitting in the round, knitting flat, knit, purl, stocking stitch, decreasing, folded cast off, picking up stitches, cable cast on.
