The Costa Nova Tank
Pattern includes: the complete version with lots of details, videos, tips and tricks, plus a print version with the shortened instructions and a section to add your own notes or modifications!
Garment description:
Inspired by the striped houses in Praia da Costa Nova I visited during my trip to Portugal, the Costa Nova Tank will become your best friend for summer! The tank is light and breezy, which makes it perfect to wear during a hot day. Fibers such as linen or silk will give it the most beautiful drape. It is a simple and quick pattern, knitted top down in a seamless construction. If you’re a beginner knitter looking to further your skill set, this would be the perfect opportunity. The stripes allow you to try out a fun color palette you’ve been meaning to or do some stash busting, as your scrap yarn could be the stripes!
Sizing:
This pattern has been written and tested for 6 sizes. Measure yourself at the widest part of your bust and choose your size accordingly, see photo 3 for each size’s bust circumference. If you are between sizes, I recommend you choose the one closest to you!
The garment has approx. 7-12 cm/3-5 in of positive ease.
Sizes G-I (132-158 cm/52-62 in) were written but not tested. They are included in the pattern as I believe they are correctly graded after the feedback on the other tested sizes. If you are unsure and would like to knit these sizes, please reach out to me.
