Notes
This sweet little tank is knit in the round from the bottom up. Stitches are bound off at the underarms and from there the front and back are worked flat, separately. After stitches are bound off for the front and back necks, the straps are again worked flat separately, working decreases along the neck edge to form the straps, which are then seamed using three needle bind off method. Stitches for the collar and armholes are picked up and knit in the round.
