The Snakes & Ladders Tank
Pattern includes: the complete version with lots of details, videos, tips and tricks, plus! a print version with the instructions written short & sweet and a section to add your own notes or modifications!
Garment description:
The Snakes & Ladders Tank is designed to have an airy and loose fit, which makes it perfect for warm weather or just lounging around. It is worked bottom-up: you start with a thin ribbing & the body is then done in stockinette with purl ridges. The stitch creates a fun textured look, which resembles the board of Snakes and Ladders, hence the name! Stitches are then picked up to work the mock neck. The tank has deep armholes and is quite narrow at the front and back, which creates a really flattering fit. This tank is the big sister to my Lieblingstank – a bit more grown-up, a bit fancier. Depending on the styling, you can really dress it down or up, so it’s a super versatile piece for your closet!
Sizing:
This tank pattern has been written and tested for 7 sizes. Measure yourself at the widest part of your bust and choose your size accordingly. If you are between sizes, I recommend you size up!
A - 71-76 cm (28-30 in)
B - 81-86 cm (32-34 in)
C - 92-97 cm (36-38 in)

E - 112-117 cm (44-46 in)
F - 122-127 cm (48-50 in)

The garment has approx. 8-13 cm/3-5 in of positive ease.
Two additional sizes (H-I, 142-158 cm/56-62 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.
