I’m thrilled to introduce my latest design, Wanderlust Tank. Summer knits have always been my most worn pieces, and I’m especially excited to add this new tank to my collection. The Wanderlust Tank is perfect for summer, and features minimal finishing, making it a breeze to complete. This fitted tank is knit using a warm weather-friendly DK weight yarn, which ensures comfort and breathability. It’s versatile style makes it an ideal addition to any summer wardrobe. Whether you’re heading to a casual brunch or a night out, Wanderlust Tank has you covered.

CONSTRUCTION
Tank begins with Back straps. Left and Right Back straps are then joined together. Front straps are picked up from the Back strap cast on edge. Back and Front are both knit flat while shaping the neck, shoulders, and armholes through increases. Front and Back are joined and Body is worked in the round, from the top down. Hem is CO separately and worked in the round, from the bottom up. Hem is then joined to the Body with a 3-Needle BO, producing an exposed seam.
