Pattern Description:

Designed by Simona Merchant-Dest.

This tank top is knitted in the lattice lace stitch pattern and is shown off beautifully with great definition by using Bijou Spun's "Lhasa Wilderness" 75% yak / 25% bamboo yarn. The tank's body is worked in seamless construction in a round; the straps are finished off in rows. To attain a super-feminine look, the tank has a waist shaping achieved by switching to a smaller needle size, so it can be easily modified by knitter for more or less shaping; giving you the look you want. This tank is very light and soft, a perfect garment to wear against your skin. You can dress it down wearing it by itself with shorts or jean; you can dress it up wearing it as a vest over a blouse to the office. Written in a wide range of sizes, this can be a great addition to anybody's wardrobe.
