My design ideas and advice: This is a simple crew neck tank top that uses the same stitch pattern as Ravenscar Jumper and Hubberholme Child’s Jumper. It is one of my favourite stitch patterns as one side is just pure knit and the other side has knits and purls. Once you get going it’s a lovely relaxing knit.
