Stripey Turtle Tank

This stripey, cropped tank is constructed from the bottom up with a twisted rib edging, stockinette body, and split at the arms to be worked flat for the front and back. The shoulders are joined using a 3-needle bind off, then a twisted rib mock neckline, and the armholes are finished with an i-cord bind off. **Yarn —** Fingering weight yarn in 1 main color (MC) and 5 contrast colors (CC). 260 (285, 315, 340) \[385, 415, 450\] (495, 530, 560) \[625, 650, 680\] yds MC 40 (45, 50, 55) \[60, 65, 70\] (75, 85, 90) \[100, 105, 110\] yds each CC This pattern is perfect for scraps, mini skeins, or really any fingering weight yarn!
