The Simple Summer Tank is a lightweight, fitting cotton top worked from top to bottom in one piece. Knitting it from top to bottom makes it easier to try on throughout the knitting process, and therefore more adjustable to your body. The tanktop features a V-Neck and wide straps. This pattern includes instructions for a straight cut body or for a peplum skirt.
