Brentview Crossed Tank

Description

This pattern is also available on Ravelry.

This tank top is light and breezy, and perfect for summer! It is knit in three pieces, from the bottom up, and then seamed. The front of the tank top is very classic, with a V-neck that isn’t too low. The back is a shaped crisscross so that the bottom of the back is open, while the top of the back is a more classic tank top.

The pattern is written for 9 sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL) (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) and has 0-2″ of positive ease. It was edited by a professional Tech Editor.
