My design ideas and advice: This pattern is another that joins the family of simple designs inspired by vintage patterns. The others with a similar shape are Dorothy Jumper and Dakota Cardigan.
I love using stitches to create shape as we all have different body shapes and my knitted garments are magical – I design them so they fit your unique shape perfectly. All you need to do is get the correct tension and pick the correct size for you.
This v neck tank top is unisex so great for male and female knitters and wearers.
