About

The Lost Tank is the perfect summer basic knit top. This summer knitting patterns worked in a retro rib, with options to adjust the neckline and overall length. Make it a set with The Lost Cami and The Lost Shorts.

The Lost Tank is worked from the top down, beginning with the back neck and then working down to the armholes. Stitches are then picked up for the front, joined at the neck and worked down to the armholes before joining in the round. The piece has customisable elements for the neckline and armholes.

Measure yourself before beginning to ensure that you choose the right size. For example: Your bust circumference is 32 - 4 = 28 inches [81 cm - 10 cm = 71 cm] i.e. work a size S. If you are in between two sizes, you can choose the smaller size as it is quite stretchy.
