Notes
The tank is worked in the round, from the bottom up, starting with a Stockinette Stitch hem. A delicate, textured stitch pattern is used for the body, and double decreases are used to shape the neckline and armholes. The neckline extensions and shoulders are seamed together using the 3-Needle Bind Off Method, and the neckline extensions are sewn to the back neck. The edges of the neckline and armholes are finished as you knit with an i-cord edging.
