Deep Water Tank Top

The Deep Water Tank Top is an elegant tank top with a beautiful drape. It includes options to have a buttoned front or back or a completely closed version. It has a beautiful texture created through the broken rib stitch pattern. The tank top is worked from the top down. You begin by casting on stitches for the back, working increases along the shoulder lines before knitting down to the armholes. Stitches are then picked up for the front shoulders, and the front pieces are worked until they are joined to the back. The body is then knitted in one piece to the desired length. Finally, the neckline and armhole edges are finished to complete the garment.
