As I visualized the cluster of magenta berries for which this shrub is known, cables and lace instantly came to mind. This slightly cropped tank features a triangular lace panel with easy cables that is worked only in the front, and both charts and written instructions for the panel are included. Instructions for how to add length are included. Construction is from the bottom up and is worked in one piece. At the armhole separation, the front and back are worked back and forth separately, and the shoulders are grafted together. **SKILL LEVEL** Intermediate **SKILLS REQUIRED** Knitting in the round, simple cables, moderate lace, picking up stitches **SIZING** *All of my patterns are #sizeinclusive.* 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) (7, 8, 9, 10) (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) (16, 17, 18, 19) **To fit chest circumference**: 28 (30, 32, 34, 36, 38) (40, 42, 44, 46) (48, 50, 52, 54, 56) (58, 60, 62, 64)” / 70 (75, 80, 85, 90, 95) (100, 105, 110, 115) (120, 125, 130, 135, 140) (145, 150, 155, 160) cm **Finished chest circumference**: 30 (32.25, 34.25, 36.25, 38.25, 40.25) (42.25, 44.25, 46.25, 48.5) (50, 52.25, 54.25, 56.5, 58) (60.25, 62.25, 64.5, 66.5)” 75 (80.5, 85.5, 90.5, 95.5, 100.5) (105.5, 110.5, 115.5, 121.5) (125, 130.5, 135.5, 141.5, 145) (150.5, 155.5, 161.5, 166.5) cm Intended to fit with 2-2.5" / 5-6.5 cm of positive ease in the chest and 3.75-4.75” / 9.5-12 cm of positive ease in the upper hip.
