Timberwood Tank

[Get the full Lion Brand Crochet Kit here][1]! **ABOUT** The #SizeInclusive Timberwood Tank is a full-coverage tank top that looks knitted but is worked up entirely with a crochet hook! It is crocheted in vertical rows, all in one piece, using short rows to shape the bust area while also providing a visually appealing design detail to this otherwise simple fabric. In this pattern, you will use a variety of slip stitches to produce a clean, knit-like texture and a unique method of construction, using the center panel as a foundation onto which the rest of the top is crocheted. The main stitch used in this top creates a ribbed, figure-hugging fabric that allows the garment to stretch nicely over the fullest part of your bust while also remaining close-fitting in the waist. The simple, yet striking, Timberwood Tank was designed to become your new favourite closet-staple; casual enough to wear lounging at home, yet polished enough to wear at the office. *Let’s explore crochet’s most underrated stitch: the slip stitch.* [Read more about this design + view tester photos here.][2] **MATERIALS Yarn:** DK—[Lion Brand LB Collection 100% Superwash Merino][3] in *Hemp* * 100% Superwash Merino * 306 yds (280 m) per 3.5-oz (100-g) skein * Find this yarn on [lionbrand.com][4] or visit yarnsub.com to find comparable substitutes. * Get the kit [here][5]! **Yardage:** 3 (3, 3, 4, 4) (5, 6, 6, 7) skeins of [LB Collection 100% Superwash Merino][6], or * 575 (790, 850, 975, 1125) (1300, 1525, 1725, 1975) yds * 526 (723, 777, 892, 1029) (1189, 1395, 1578, 1806) m *Substitute [Lion Brand LB Collection Superwash Merino][7] with another DK weight (light, category #3) yarn that matches gauge.
