The Needles
What I love you can use straight needles for this pattern! I used Furls Padauk & Ebony straight needles to create this pattern. These needles are so smooth and I can really get into a good groove with them making me work faster and more effortlessly.
Pattern Notes:
- Tank top is designed with 2” of positive ease. If you are in between sizes please size down.
- Top is worked in 2 panels starting from the bottom and working up. Each panel will have single decreases on one side of the row which makes up the front and 4-5 decreases on the other side of the row which wraps around and makes up the back of the top.
- Both panels are seamed at the center of the back and center of the front.
- Bottom half of body is worked first, then you will work decrease rows for the neck shaping and continue by working the straps.
- Each color consists of an 8 row repeat. 2 knit rows, 4 lace rows and 2 more knit rows.
There are a lot of things that are customizable about this pattern. For example, you can mix and match the colors, You can make it longer by adding more pattern row repeats, you an shorten it by omitting pattern row repeats, You can deepen or shorten the neckline based on how far you seam the center and you can adjust the length of the halter back strap.
This pattern will only be available as long as the yarn is so grab your yarn now!
