Wonder Tank
See all patterns in No-Sew Knits.
Beginning at the tops of the shoulders with a provisional cast-on, the straps for the Wonder Tank are knit out from the center and set aside. Beginning at the right underarm, stitches for the body are cast on and the held strap stitches are joined. The body is worked in an openwork lace pattern from the top down, changing needle sizes to give a little shaping to the waist and hips.Finished Size
