Pattern Description from Interweave Knits, Summer 2008: “Seven colors of a silk yarn mix, contrast, and create a sumptuous fabric when combined with a clever eight-row slip-stitch pattern in Deborah Newton’s Confectionary Tank. With a long, lean line and minimalist finishing, the silhouette is fun but versatile.”
