Notes

This yarn has been in my destash for years, but it’s out now, and calling to be made into this tank.

Made a washcloth swatch. I think I used a 4 mm needle? That’s what I used for the tank.

Mods:

  • cast on for entire back neckline then short rows. Actually did right shoulder then cast on the middle and left so I didn’t break the yarn. Had a couple of extra wraps during the left shoulder because of the center stitches already being there. All worked out in the end.
  • lower neckline in the front. Cast on 2 then 2 then 1 until 27 each side to end up with M Numbers.
  • 4 inches of twisted rib hem with 4.0 mm needle (just used the 3.5 mm for neckline).

Notes
- after row 38 start armholes. Do an extra 2 rows.

Gauge is 19 st and 30 rows to 4 inches. Thicker than linen, and will stretch more than linen.
314 grams used.
