This classic and minimalist tank top is a gratifying knitting project, using extra-large needles for modern appeal. It is worked from the bottom up, cleverly knit seamlessly in the round through the body on circular needles, then separated at the arm openings and worked flat for neckline shaping and straps. Optional bind-off variations can be used. Perfect for knitters of any level especially with adventurous beginners in mind.
