Ribbed To Your Measure Knitting Pattern

This size inclusive tank top will help keep you cozy through all seasons. It features a high neck, all over ribbing, and cropped body length. The ribbing allows for a curve hugging fit, but enough stretch to keep the garment comfortable for all day wear. A great piece on its own or as a layering piece in the winter under a cardigan. The perfect addition to your work-from-home uniform or as part of a lounge set!

Pattern includes instructions for a bottom-up and top-down version, as well as information on making a dress version! The dress instructions are only for the top-down version.

Sizes

28 (32, 36, 40) 44 (48, 52, 56) 60 (64, 68) inch bust circumference (your actual bust)

This pattern is intended to have at least 4-8 inches of positive ease (at maximum stretch). The ribbing will be surprisingly stretchy (width wise), so don’t be alarmed if it looks small while you are making it.

Gauge

Minimum Stretch Gauge (loosely stretched): Using size 3 needles in 2x2 ribbing, 32 stitches x 32 rows = 4 inches knit in the round

Maximum Stretch Gauge (aggressively stretched): Using size 3 needles in 2x2 ribbing, 18 stitches x 32 rows = 4 inches knit in the round

Additional information is in the pattern on how to measure your gauge swatch and ensure your piece will fit.
