A couple of months ago I saw the Amazonite Tank by Kerri Blumer on Instagram. I knew I had to make it. The pattern incorporated on of my favorite stitches: the seed stitch. But that wasn’t even the best part. Drum roll please… The pattern includes 5 different neckline options! Yes, you read that right 5! Talk about the possibilities.😀
For my tank, I decided on the Peter Pan collar. I love this style of neckline. It is the right combination of vintage and feminine. For yarn, I used Rowan Summerlite DK in Cantaloupe (100% cotton). Wow, do I love this yarn. It is soft and has a lovely sheen to it. Plus you won’t break the bank :).
I started this top back in May. Everything was going perfectly until I realized I misjudged the amount of yarn I needed. So this project was put on the back burner until new supplies arrived. I used the very trusty yarn.com. This site is great for popular brands and they tend to carry a great color selection.
My Amazonite Tank came out pretty darn good. I am in love with the changing texture at the bottom of the tank. I like how it starts very dense and then slowly fades. I will say this tank looks a little boxy on me. When I make it again (and I sure will) I think I will make the smaller size. I did make one modification in that I crocheted a single chain along the neckline edge to make it look cleaner.
So far I am at 3 new cotton tops added to my knitwear collection. I have one more on the blocking mat so check back soon for the finished photos.
Until Next Time,
