Knitting Kit - Pinstripe Tank Top by ohwhata knit

The Pinstripe Tank Top features a clean, minimalist look, enhanced by a vertical ribbed pattern. Knitted with light fingering weight yarn, it offers a lightweight and breathable knit, with a close-fitting yet comfortable and fluid silhouette. Its rounded neckline and fairly wide straps give it a modern, slightly sporty look.

The model is knitted from top to bottom. It starts with the back, then the shoulders are knitted separately before being joined to form the front. Below the armholes, the front and back are assembled to continue the body in the round. The neckline and armhole edgings are worked in stockinette stitch, then folded and sewn inwards. The hem is finished with a neat fold that sits just below the waist, allowing the tank top to be worn tucked into trousers or a skirt, or simply left loose.
