I N T R O D U C T I O N
This tank pattern is knitted top-down starting with the straps.
The front and back pieces are knitted straight using a rib stitch and then joined in the round at the chest. Increase and decrease stitches are used to shape the bust and then ribbing is continued on the body for a form fitted garment. The tank is named after Vico Baths in Dublin - a favourite swimming spot!
