Pattern description from Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 2007: “Daunted by the prospect of shaping lace to fit your form? Nancy Cassels just made things much easier by designing the yoke of her standard-fitting linen tank with reversible double-daisy and spider-web patterns. The main section of the garment, in ‘Euroflax Sportweight’ by Louet Sales, is knit upward from stitches picked up along the bottom edge, which is worked horizontally in a razor-shell stitch.”

“Standard-fitting tank in allover lace patterns with wide straps and simple crochet finished edges. Sized for Small/Medium and Large and shown in size Small/Medium on page 69.”
