Minimalist Tank Knitting Pattern

This is a simple tank pattern that will be a fantastic wardrobe staple. Wear it on it’s own when the weather is warm, with flannels as the seasons transition, or under a cardigan or sweater for extra cozy vibes in the winter. This tank is constructed top down starting with the back panel portion and the armholes and collar knit last.
