Solar-Tank is the knit summer top my wardrobe NEEDED! This sweet lightweight tank is knit from the bottom up, in two halves with a racer back and integrated slip stitch I-Cord straps.

To finish things off, the side seams are “zipped up” with panels worked perpendicular to the tank body. 
These help this otherwise drapey sweater maintain its shape.
The delicate hand of this sweater is achieved thanks to the beautifully soft fingering-weight silk/linen blend.
