Tanager Tank

This size inclusive tank top is the perfect way to wear your knits through all seasons. It features two necklines (v-neck and square neck), all over ribbing, a top-down construction, and a slightly cropped body length. The ribbing allows for a fitted fit that isn't too snug. Wear it with a cardigan for transitional seasons or on its own when the weather warms up! This top down pattern includes instructions for both necklines, so you get two tank patterns in one! **Sizes** 28 (32, 36, 40) 44 (48, 52, 56) 60 (64, 68) inch bust circumference (your actual bust) This pattern is intended to have at least 4-8 inches of positive ease (at maximum stretch). The ribbing will be surprisingly stretchy (width wise), so don’t be alarmed if it looks small while you are making it. Sizes 64 and 68 were not tested. If you'd like to test these sizes, please let me know so I can send you the pattern! **Gauge** Minimum Stretch Gauge (loosely stretched): Using size 3 needles in 2x2 ribbing, 32 stitches x 32 rows = 4 inches knit in the round Maximum Stretch Gauge (aggressively stretched): Using size 3 needles in 2x2 ribbing, 18 stitches x 32 rows = 4 inches knit in the round Additional information is in the pattern on how to measure your gauge swatch and ensure your piece will fit. **Yarn Estimates** The yardage estimates are based on the tank pattern as written.
