Pattern Notes:
The Nomad Tank is a perfect stash-busting tank made for warmer weather. The top is knitted in the round from the bottom-up and has a cabled rib at the hem. The garment has optional shaping at the hem for a tighter fit around the waist. Delicate lace outlines the bust and provides a flattering and elegant finish. i-cords or double stockinette can be used for the straps. The back of the top has two triangles (similar to the front) where the straps are then seamed onto.
