Description
Your Everyday Tank is a basic, seamless, cropped tank top that you could wear any day, if not every day. Made with bulky yarn, this tank whips up so quickly you’ll find yourself making one for each day of the week! With its simple design and structure, I hope it becomes your favourite go-to summer chunky knitwear pieces (because that’s a thing, I swear).

Size guide
Note that the tank top is designed to be more on the form fitting side, so if you’re looking for a roomier top I recommend sizing up. It’s also designed to be cropped, but instructions to lengthen the modify are available in the pattern!
