Ribbed Tank Top Knitting Pattern

Make a Tank Top Worth Actually Wearing

You've seen ribbed tanks everywhere. This is the one you make yourself, fits your body, and reaches for first.

Two styles, one clean construction: Style A keeps a straight, fitted silhouette while Style B flares out at the hem with a mohair blend for added volume. Either way, the result looks polished, not homemade.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: Chest circumference 26–49.75" / 66–126.5 cm (unstretched); fits chest 30–59.75" / 76–151.5 cm with negative ease. Total length 20.5–23.75" / 52–60.5 cm across sizes.

• Knitted top-down in the round, with the shoulders built first. There is no seaming when you're done.
• Comes in 7 sizes with detailed finished measurements so you can pick the fit that actually works for your body.
• Two style options at the hem, Style A for a clean rib all the way down or Style B for a flared, textured finish, give you real flexibility in one purchase.
