Thea Tank is a soft, breezy top with unique design in front. There are two versions included in this pattern:

  • Version 1 (V1): Version 1 features open sides secured by i-cords at the underarm, perfect for use as a swimsuit coverup or as a daring top for the hottest days of the year.
  • Version 2 (V2): Version 2 features a classic tank silhouette with closed underarms and sides, lovely as an everyday staple in your closet.

The upper back and front sections of this piece is worked the same for both versions of the top. Then, at the underarms, the instructions separate. The V1 instructions will continue working flat throughout, while V2 will be worked in the round. Both versions are finished with a polished ribbed neckline, armholes, and hem.
