DIY Kit - Tank Top with Fringe
The front and back of this top are worked in separate pieces from the bottom-up, with both panels including shaping for the armholes and the front panel featuring additional shaping for the neckline. After the front and back panels are knit, they are seamed together at the shoulders. Stitches are then picked up from the neckline and a ribbed neckband is worked in the round. Stitches are then picked up for the ribbed armholes and are worked in the round before seaming the sides of the body panels. Fringe is then optionally added to the bottom of the garment.

Care: Hand wash or machine wash cold, tumble dry. Please test any washing/drying method on a small swatch to ensure you like the end result. As our cotton is chunky, un-mercerized, and minimally processed to preserve the fiber’s natural softness and elasticity, it is more prone to shedding. Washing and drying should help alleviate this. For further information and tips, please consult our Fiber Care Guide.
