Roll Neck Tank

The Roll Neck Tank is a classic top with a high neckline and simple silhouette. Use mohair for a perfect wintery tank top, or opt for a more summery version with a cotton blend. Either way, this design is a perfect canvas to play with your yarn stash and show off a fun skein you’ve been dying to knit up. **Needles & Notions** *Main Needle:* US 7 / 4.5 mm in 24 - 40” circular needles depending on size *Notions:* Stitch markers, stitch holder/scrap yarn, tapestry needle, spare US 7 circular needle (optional) **Sizing** XS(S, M, L, XL) (XXL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) **Garment Bust Measurement** 28(32, 36, 40, 44)(48, 52, 56, 60)” 71(81.5, 91.5, 101.5, 112)(122, 132, 142, 152.5) cm **Ease** 1 - 4” (2.5 - 10 cm) of negative ease. **Gauge** 20 stitches and 24 rows per 4”/ 10cm on main needle in stockinette stitch, lightly blocked. **Yarn** Approximately 286(338, 404, 475, 552)(634, 721, 813, 911) yards of fingering weight yarn held with 301(355, 424, 499, 579)(665, 756, 853, 956) yards of any lace weight mohair *This sample used a fingering weight yarn from Polka Dot Sheep held with Hobbii Diablo mohair. **Options** If you’d like to make a warm-weather version, you can eliminate the mohair and use one strand of any sport or DK weight yarn. *If you knit with a less elastic yarn such as linen, just try it on once you join the front and back panel to ensure you can pull it over your head! **Construction** You’ll cast on the front panel and knit it flat to the armhole.
