Trail

The Trail Tank is a top-down, scoop neck, cropped tank top with a slip-stitch stripe motif. This breezy tank is a perfect staple for summer! Note 1: The sizes are based on upper chest measurements. There is an option to add horizontal bust darts (as shown in the sample) to accommodate larger full bust sizes. Note 2: Are you looking to knit sizes 1, 8, 9, or 11? If so, please send me an email at: lanayaelizabethknits@gmail.com. Due to not finding testers for those sizes I would love to send you a free copy of the pattern until I have enough feedback on those sizes! Note 3: Please note that not all bust dart options have been tested. Please email me at lanayaelizabethknits@gmail.com if you have any questions!
