This Garter Stitch Tank Knitting Pattern is a easy basic to get you through the spring season. The shape is relaxed and it's the perfect easy piece to throw on with jeans. Best of all? This tank is unbelievably easy to knit! It's knit in Garter Stitch and there's very little shaping (only the neck hole).
This Bernat Home Decor yarn is perfect for spring knitting projects. It's a cotton and nylon blend with a tubular feel (like t-shirt yarn). It's chunky without being too heavy and it knits up fast!
