Tideline Tank is a seamless pullover tank knit with DK or light worsted-weight yarn and worked from the top-down. Designed for warm-weather layering, it features clean lines, two colors (although it can be knit in one color if you prefer), and options for either a straight or A-line silhouette.

(If it looks a little familiar, it’s because it was inspired by this tank, that I designed many years ago. But this version is knit with lighter yarn and has different construction and shaping techniques.)

This pattern is part of my Water’s Edge mini collection. Patterns can be purchased separately or together as an ebook at a discounted price.
