Beach Tank

With a loose drape, deep armholes, and a cropped hem, the Beach Tank is a breeze to knit and wear. Knit it with two yarns held together for a marled effect, or with one thicker-weight yarn for a simple solid look. Make a tank in every color and rock ‘em at the boardwalk with some high-waist denim, clog sandals and your sassiest shades. -- **Materials** - Approximately 225 (300, 375, 450, 525) yards of worsted weight yarn - Approximately 300 (375, 450, 525, 600) yards of fingering weight yarn *Cream tank shown in:* - Wool and the Gang Shiny Happy Cotton (100% cotton; 155 yds/100g) 2 (2, 3, 3, 4) skeins, color Ivory White - Shibui Knits Staccato (70% wool, 30% silk; 191 yds/50g) 2 (2, 3, 3, 4) skeins, color Ivory *Black and white tank shown in:* - Blue Sky Fibers Skinny Cotton (100% cotton; 150 yds/65g) 2 (3, 3, 4, 4) skeins, color Gardenia - Shibui Knits Rain (100% cotton; 135 yds/50g) 3 (3, 4, 4, 5) skeins, color Tar **Needles** - One 24" circular needle in Size US 9 (5.5 mm), or size needed to obtain gauge - Two double-pointed needles in Size US 6 (4 mm), or 3 sizes smaller than gauge needle **Gauge** 14.5 stitches and 22 rows = 4" in stockinette stitch pattern on US 9 (5.5 mm) needles, after blocking **Sizes** To fit bust sizes: 28-30 (32-34, 36-38, 40-42, 44-46)" with +2-4" suggested ease
