Rustic Tank Top

A loosely knit, slightly oversized tank top that fits perfectly into my summer wardrobe—and I’ve already planned it in multiple colors! The beautiful, rib-like texture enhances the color variations in the yarn, and the fact that it’s knit on size 6 mm needles is just an added bonus.

The tank top is knitted back and forth in two separate pieces using two strands of yarn held together and then sewn together at the sides.
