Product Description
Noro Tank Top
What is Being Made
This is a classic knitted tank top designed in a seamless, bottom-up construction. The garment is sized to fit busts ranging from 32 inches (81cm) for Small through 41¼ inches (104.5cm) for X-Large, with finished lengths between 22 and 23½ inches (56 to 59.5cm) depending on size. The tank top is an easy-level project suitable for knitters with basic skills.
Construction Techniques
The Noro Tank Top is constructed using seamless, bottom-up construction, meaning the garment is worked in continuous rounds from the lower edge upward without requiring seaming. This technique is worked in the round using circular needles, which creates a smooth, professional finish and eliminates the need for finishing seams. The seamless approach reduces finishing work and creates a more comfortable, stretchy fabric that moves with the body.
Stitches and Stitch Techniques
The pattern employs fundamental knitting stitches and shaping techniques including:
- Knit and purl stitches as the foundation of the fabric
- Make one increases (both knitwise and purlwise variations) for shaping the garment
- Slip, slip, knit (SSK) decreases for fitted shaping
- Stitch markers placed at key points to track pattern repeats and shaping locations
- Selvage stitches at edges to facilitate clean finishing
- Pick up and knit/purl techniques for adding stitches along edges, commonly used for necklines and armholes
- Chart-based pattern work with "no stitch" indicators for areas where stitches have been decreased or not yet created
Materials and Tools
The Noro Tank Top is knitted with Noro Kumo yarn in colorway #02, requiring 2 to 3 hanks of 100g each depending on the size being made. The yarn is worked on two sizes of US circular needles measuring 24 inches (60cm) long: a US 4/3.5mm needle for ribbed sections and a US 6/4mm needle for the main fabric. Additional supplies include stitch markers for tracking pattern placement and stitch holders for managing stitches during construction. The pattern recommends using LYKKE® brand needles and hooks for optimal results.
