Day Tripper Tank

Your new companion for warm spring and summer days - take the Day Tripper Tank on a little jaunt to the local coffee shop, museum, or date with a friend. It’s a quick and simple knit for which you’ll quickly say - “actually - I need this in more than one color”. Worked from the top down in the round with simple lace and textures, this tank flies off the needles. Two straps are knit flat and a couple stitches seamed makes a finished construction. Optional scalloped edges give you a chance to embellish - if you would like - and these scallops are also entirely knit so no need to mess about with crochet hooks. I have created multiple video tutorials placed throughout the pattern to give you even more details and tips for techniques used. I hope you have a pleasant knitting experience and enjoy many day trips together!
