Vacation Tank Top Knitting Pattern

Make a Summer Top You'll Actually Wear You want a summer piece that looks put-together, not "obviously handmade." The Vacation Tank Top gives you that — a clean, wearable knit with lace detailing at the yoke and hem and twisted I-cord straps that add just enough polish. Top-down construction means you can try it on as you go and stop whenever the length feels right. No guessing, no seaming, no surprises when you cast off. Skill Level: Intermediate Finished Size: Bust 78 (82, 91, 99, 109, 118, 128) cm / 30.75 (32.25, 35.75, 39.0, 43.0, 46.5, 50.5) in — worn with 0–10 cm / 0–4 in of negative ease Seven sizes, XS through 3XL, with full measurements for each — so you can choose the fit that actually works for your body, not just the closest option Adjustable body length built into the construction — work fewer or more rounds before the hem lace to get exactly the cropped or full-length coverage you want Garter stitch body with simple lace borders — the garter section is satisfying to work up, and the lace rows at yoke and hem give it that finished, detailed look without being complicated "I love how this comes together. The construction flow is so clear and the result looks so much better than I expected."
