This tank is worked back and forth in pieces and seamed. The lower edging is worked first, then stitches are picked up along the side of the edging and the piece is worked to the top of the lower body. The lower body is bound off using the I-cord method. The upper body stitches are picked up behind the I-cord and then continue upward.
