Whether a ribbed tank is a wardrobe staple for you or not, Askew Top is sure to become a summer favorite. With its tilting raised stitches and casual feel the top is certain to add some playfulness to many of your outfits.

Pair this cute summer top with denim shorts for a casual beach look. You can off course dress it up with some light colored slacks for an evening out look.

Construction

The top is crocheted in from side to side in two panels. Before seaming we pick up sts at the top of the panel to add our straps and mock short rows. Then block each panel, once dry we seam the sides.
