Sesia Roselyn Tank
What Is Being Made
The Sesia Roselyn Tank is an intermediate-level knitted sleeveless garment designed by Lisa Hoffman. This tank top is available in four sizes—Small, Medium, Large, and XL—with finished bust measurements ranging from 36½ inches to 45 inches and lengths from 21½ inches to 24 inches. The garment is crafted from Stacy Charles Fine Yarns WINDSURF LUX, a 100% mercerized cotton yarn, making it an ideal lightweight piece for warm weather wear.
Techniques Used
The Roselyn Tank employs a combination of knitting techniques to create both structure and visual interest. The garment is worked bottom-up, meaning construction begins at the lower edge and progresses toward the neckline. The pattern utilizes both worked flat and worked in the round methods, allowing knitters to choose the most comfortable approach for different sections. Seaming is incorporated to join pieces together, while lace techniques add decorative openwork details throughout the design. This combination of methods creates a garment with refined shaping and elegant visual texture.
Stitches Used
The primary stitch foundation for the Roselyn Tank is Stockinette Stitch, which provides a smooth, classic fabric base. Stockinette is worked both in the round (knitting all stitches every round) and in rows (alternating knit rows on the right side with purl rows on the wrong side). The lace pattern features a 13-stitch repeat with additional stitches, incorporating decorative techniques such as yarn overs (yo), knit two together decreases (k2tog), and slip-slip-knit decreases (ssk). Purl stitches are strategically placed within the lace sections to create textural contrast and define the pattern repeats. These combined stitches work together to produce the characteristic openwork aesthetic of lace knitting while maintaining structural integrity.
Materials and Tools
The Roselyn Tank requires 5 to 9 balls of Stacy Charles Fine Yarns WINDSURF LUX depending on size, with each ball containing 1.75 ounces (50 grams) and yielding 188 yards (135 meters). The yarn is 100% mercerized cotton, a fiber choice that offers breathability and a subtle sheen ideal for tank tops. Construction requires US size 7 (4.5 mm) circular needles—one 24-inch needle for working larger circumferences and one 16-inch needle for smaller sections such as necklines. Additional supplies include stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats, stitch holders or waste yarn for securing stitches during construction, and a yarn needle for weaving in ends and seaming. The recommended gauge is 18 stitches and 24 rows over 4 inches in Stockinette Stitch when blocked, which is essential for achieving the correct finished measurements.
