The Summer Flow tank was designed for easy, comfortable wear. Worked almost entirely in stockinette, this tank features a flattering twisted stockinette detail on the sides of the body. Built-in waist-shaping makes this tank fitted at the bust and loose, and relaxed at the waist. Ideal for hot weather or layered looks, the Summer Flow is a versatile piece designed to complement your figure.
The pattern includes a detailed schematic, video tutorials, AND a bonus document for modifying your Summer Flow. The bonus document includes instructions for adding stripes to your Summer Flow, and tips for customizing the fit of your tank.
CONSTRUCTION
The Summer Flow is worked seamlessly from the top down. The yoke is knit flat and then joined in the round at the underarms. The body is worked in the round from the underarm to the hem. Finally, the armhole and neckline ribbings are picked up and worked in the round.
