I had been save this pattern for very very long time but could not manage times to knit for my own. One day I found this Patons Sorrento (discontinued) yarns on sales at Spotlight stores, I grabbed 5 skeins and keep in stash for this tank top. During Chinese New Year, I decided to bring this back to my hometown and started it as my “on the move project”.
I did not test swatch or checked my gauge. I just started following the pattern even I’m using thicker yarn because I’m a tight knitter. I don’t like too much of seaming so I knitted this in circular needle. I worked in round until reached the neckline opening and begin work separately for left and right armhole. Once reach the desire length I stopped and joined both shoulder sleeves with stockinette seam.
Below are the information and pattern for this Ribbon Tanktop or you can get the original printable pdf here.
The original length of the armhole are bit too long of my liking. For the photo below I just simply shorten the top part by overlapping/flipped down the ribbons part.
I then removed the knotted ribbons and seamed it shorter. In the result, this created more nicer form of ribbons at the shoulder part.
I matched this tank top with short pants.
My favorite short pants in this all year summer country ^^
