The Ruffle Tank is a square neck,
cropped tank that’s easy to knit and
really fun to wear! The tank is knit in the
round from top to bottom with waist
shaping at the sides and a double ruffle
at the hem. There are two options for
straps: two simple I-cords can be
attached along the front and back or 4
longer lengths can be used to create tie
straps. I love this tank because it’s a
great summer knit and pairs perfectly
with my high waisted shorts!
