MALIBU TANK TOP
Malibu Tank Top is, as the name suggests, a fresh, colourful tank top, named after the popular and famous beach in California.
This version is knitted in exclusive mulberry silk, known for its temperature-regulating properties; i.e. you can wear the tank top on a hot summer day at the beach, you can wear it under an open shirt in the colder months, or you can wear it as a vest in the spring and summer months.
Either way, it will feel exclusive and delicious against the skin. You can of course change base to a yarn with the same weight, approx. 400 m / 100 g, for example merino, alpakka, or cotton.
The top is knitted alternating knit and purl stitches and is therefore very stretchable and relatively beginner-friendly.
SIZES
XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) =
80 (88) 90,5 (98,5) 106,5 (112) 122,5 (130,5) cm circumference - lightly stretched.
The top fits chest sizes: 76-83 (84-90) 91-98 (99-106) 107-112 (113-119) 120-130 (131-140) cm.
The top is designed as a very stretchy, yet tight-fitting and flattering tank top with negative to null ease. Note that the knitted fabric can stretch between 15-30 cm depending on the chosen size, so I recommend you choose a size 0-10 cm smaller than your chest measurement.
You can adjust the length as you go.

2.5 mm circular needles for the sleeve edges and the neckband, unless you are a tight knitter, then you’ll need 3 mm circular needles
