RINN 
……….
The word rinn means ’point’ in the Irish language. Because it all comes to a point with this easy to wear front-back reversible tank.
The v-neck top features two neckline options: one that is low-cut, and one with a shallower dip. You can reverse them to suit the mood and occasion, and either way rest assured that the straps will not slide off your shoulders do the the careful armhole and neckline shaping design.
Meanwhile, the split hem facilitates tucking options. And the integrated edgings split elegantly at the necklines and underarms to form straps of adjustable length - allowing further customisations.

NOTES ON YARN SELECTION
For next to skin wear, select yarns that are next to skin friendly!
In my opinion, this pattern works best with yarns that have good stitch definition, such as cotton and high-twist superwash merino. Linen, textured silk blends, and ‘fluffy’ woollen yarns will work as well, but the look will be different.
