The Cotton Tank is knit top-down. You will begin by kitting an I-cord. After that, you will pick up stitches from the I-cord to begin the back and then the front. After both back and front are knit, you will join to knit in the round. An I-cord strap is created by picking up stitches around the arm openings. Strap is grafted at underarm using Kitchener Stitch for an invisible seam.
