Stacy Charles Fine Yarns Delaney Tank
What Is Being Made
The Delaney Tank is a sleeveless knitted sweater designed by Andi Javori, offered in six sizes ranging from Small to 3XL. This tank top features a straightforward construction with bust measurements from 34 inches (Small) to 57 inches (3XL) and lengths ranging from 22 to 24.5 inches depending on size. The design is classified as an EASY level pattern, making it accessible to knitters with basic to intermediate skills.
Techniques Used
The Delaney Tank employs a bottom-up construction method, meaning the piece is knitted starting from the lower edge and working upward toward the neckline. The garment is worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round, and pieces are seamed together after completion. A notable design feature is that the front and back panels are worked identically with no shaping at the neck or armholes, allowing knitters to customize neck width and armhole depth as desired during construction.
Stitches Used
The pattern incorporates two primary stitch patterns. The Broken Rib stitch forms the ribbed edging at the lower edge of the tank. This stitch alternates knit and purl stitches across rows, creating a textured elastic border that measures 1.5 to 2 inches depending on size. The main body of the tank features the Diamond pattern, a 12-row repeat stitch that creates an allover textured design. The Diamond pattern is worked between marked sections while Broken Rib edging is maintained at the side seams throughout the piece.
Materials
The Delaney Tank is designed to be knitted with Stacy Charles Fine Yarns AMELIA, a luxury blend yarn composed of 40% silk, 30% linen, and 30% cotton. This fiber combination creates a breathable, drape-friendly fabric ideal for a sleeveless summer garment. Yardage requirements range from 5 balls for the Small size to 10 balls for the 3XL size, with each ball containing 137 yards and weighing 1.75 ounces (50 grams). The pattern calls for size 5 (3.75mm) needles worked to a gauge of 20 stitches and 31 rows over 4 inches in the Diamond pattern. Additional materials include stitch markers for tracking pattern sections and a yarn needle for seaming and finishing.
