Easy Tank Top English

The Easy Tank Top is a simple top made in a double rib stitch. The double ribbing makes the top quite stretchy. The top is worked from the top down and i-cords are added along the neck as well as the arm holes. You can also flip the top and wear it back to front.

If you wish to make a striped version of the top, you need to divide the total yarn usage by 2 and add 1 extra ball of the colour you wish to make the i-cord edges with to ensure that you will have enough yarn in that colour. The stripes are made by working 2 rows in each colour.
