Bethel Tank
The boldly colored stranded yoke is the focal point of this tank. In traditional Fair Isle fashion, only two colors are worked on each round, although a total of four different colors are used. Flattering cut-in armholes angle to meet the rounded yoke, suggesting a halter top but with more coverage. A narrow attached I-cord gives all garment edges a neat finish.
