About
The Tied & True Tank is a sweet and flirty top that accentuates your figure. It’s knitted top-down, beginning with the upper back and then picking up each shoulder. The back and front are joined at the underarms, and the rest of the top is knitted in one piece. It comes in 9 sizes with suggestions on how you can customize the bust for a better fit. There are optional horizontal short-row bust darts and shaping for the underbust. The top is held closed with three i-cords at the bust, underbust, and waist; the underbust and waist ties allow you to cinch them for a closer fit. The body is finished with a ruffled peplum hem and i-cord edging. It can be worn alone as a flirty cropped tank, or layered as a vest.
Gauge: 18st & 26 rows in 4” / 10 cm.
Yarn: Wool & The Gang Shiny Happy Cotton (100% cotton, worsted/aran weight). You can substitute any yarn that meets gauge.
Skill level: Recommended for intermediate+ knitters. There are some parts of the pattern where you need to keep track of multiple increases at one time, for instance.
Sizing: See photos for full size chart. The pattern recommends -1” to +1” of ease at the bust. If your bust is proportionately larger than represented in the sizing chart, choose a size that best fits your cross-back measurement; the pattern has suggestions for how to adjust to fit your bust.
