Horizons Tank

I love making anything out of cotton yarn!

The Horizons Tank was an idea I had since the beginning of the year...I saw this colour combo on a pillow at a home decor store - fell in love with it!

I couldn't resist using Sugarbush Cabot, its the perfect mix 

of 70% pima cotton and 30% linen.

It made this tank so light weight and airy...perfect for the Spring/Summer.

I used the colourways: Western White, By The Lake, and Portage Peach.

Ready?

Let's make The Horizons Tank!

Notes before you begin:

-the amount of ribbing you complete is how wide each panel will be, I made a size small

-complete more rows in the ribbing for a larger size, and less rows in the ribbing for a smaller size (width)
-it's important to make sure you are working with an EVEN number of stitches (ideally: a multiple of 4)

-you can chose to carry yarn throughout the pattern, or drop and pick up colours as you go

-each panel: 15" width x 18" length

-this tank is made up of 2 panels: front and back, seamed at the sides (leaving armholes) and at the shoulders.

-I used 3 skeins of Sugarbush Cabot (1 for each colour)
