Pattern: Scarlet Woman Sleeveless Tank, by pieknits
Yarn: Jo Sharp Soho Summer DK, 5 balls for the XS small
Mods: just an unintentional boo boo in following the rib pattern. I did all left twists up the 6 stitches.
The pattern doesn't show up much in the photo on the black. It was a fun, fast knit, and both my sister and niece who tried it on said the yarn felt very good. Since it was cotton, I didn't block the pieces before sewing up the shoulder an side seams, but steamed it a bit before crocheting the neck and armhole edge. I quite happy with the size of the armholes and neck. I think it can be made longer for a taller person.
That tank top turned out great!
ReplyDeleteReally nice job on the tank, and you have lovely nieces!
ReplyDeleteOh, I like that tank. I am looking for a good pattern for some dk weight cotton...
ReplyDeletethe finished tank looks great. what a fantastic auntie you are to your nieces. i suspect i would enjoy making and wearing such a garment, but imagining the stripes bending and stretching is enough to make me leave the yarn alone for now.
ReplyDeleteThe sleeveless tank looks fabulous! Such a great fit, too!
ReplyDeleteCute nieces. Your tank top is perfect spring/summer knitting. Quick and cute!
ReplyDeletethat is one great tank...i've bookmarked it to order the pattern later!
ReplyDeleteOh, very nice in black -- I think even my shy dd might wear that tank because it preserves modesty so well. The nieces look wonderful. Is that your house? --syl
