Shoreside Tank

Description

The Shoreside Tank is a breezy summertime sweater – a deep V tank with a narrow neckline and a flattering A-line shape. It works best in light, airy yarns with plenty of drape, and just might change your mind about summer sweaters!

You can buy Shoreside in one of two ways:

• A traditional pattern PDF, for $8, written in a single gauge and for 12 standard sizes. A download will be immediately available.
• A custom Shoreside Tank pattern, for $12.50, written to your exact gauge (from fingering to bulky) and to measurements of your choice. A credit to customize this pattern will be immediately deposited into your account upon purchase. You’ll need to store the gauge and measurements you’d like the pattern written for before customizing.

This sample was worked in Habu Textiles Wrapped Merino 4p, a merino yarn wrapped in silk thread. It’s an exquisite, unusual yarn and makes an incredibly elegant, chic garment – I highly recommend it. Seriously, I cannot say enough good things about this yarn. The first time I wore the tank in public, I was complimented on it by no fewer than 3 complete strangers!

Sizing

This traditional download is available in the following sizes: 32 (34½, 36¼, 38¼, 40, 42½, 44¼, 48, 52¼, 56, 60¼, 64)’’ / 81.5 (87.5, 92, 97, 101.5, 108, 112.5, 122, 132.5, 142, 153, 162.5) cm finished bust circumference.

The CustomFit Shoreside will be written expressly for your measurements and choice of fit, length, and silhouette. In these photos, I’m wearing an a-line tunic with a close fit in the shoulders, and plenty of positive ease in the hips (at least 8” / 20.5 cm).

Gauge

The traditional pattern is written for a gauge of 26 sts & 38 rows = 4”/10cm in St st. A CustomFit Shoreside will be written for your exact gauge.
