Techniques

Construction
Tank begins with casting on the back neck. Increases are worked for width of back shoulders. Back is worked straight until armhole shaping, where increases are worked. Back sts are held while front is worked. Each strap is picked up and knit individually, and increases are worked to shape the neckline. After completing the left and right front, they are joined in a row where remaining neckline stitches are cast on. Remaining front yoke is worked to the underarm shaping where underarms are shaped with increases same as back. Front and back are joined in round where underarm stitches are cast on, and remaining body is worked in pattern in the round. Applied neckline and armhole edgings are picked up and worked at any point after completion of the yoke.
