Brisk Tank

This fitted tank is perfect for those brisk spring days when you want your arms bare but need a little more coverage than a camisole. Choose a yarn with nice drape to make a quickly knit top that won’t be too bulky looking. The changes in stitch pattern keep you interested and the seamless construction and big needles will have you finished in no time. For the most flattering fit with a drapey yarn, choose the size that is 1"-3" smaller than your actual measurement – it will skim over your curves without looking clingy.
