## creative joy
Why you'll love knitting this tank:
-
100% Superwash Merino: Knit in our bouncy Fluffy Fingering yarn, giving you an ultra-soft garment that keeps its shape and feels like a cloud against your skin.
-
Zero Side Seams: Worked entirely in the round up to the armholes for a smooth, seamless finish and easy weaving-in of your ends.
-
Boutique Details: Features picked-up straps with functional back-button closures so you can adjust the length perfectly to your frame.
-
Modern Wardrobe Staple: Looks gorgeous worn on its own with high-waisted jeans, or paired up with its inspiration piece, the original Clear Skies Cowl!
Sizing & Yarn Requirements
To ensure the best fit, choose a size based on your actual chest measurement. This pattern is designed to be worn with -1.5 to +1.5” / -4 to +4 cm of ease at the widest part of the chest. If you fall exactly between sizes, we recommend sizing down for a beautiful, snug fit.
Heather's Design Notes: ✍️
Customizing Your Length: If you would like to add a bit of length to your tank body, distribute it evenly within the plain stockinette sections at the very top (Panel 1) and bottom (Panel 5). For example, adding roughly 1” / 2.5 cm of length is as simple as adding 8 rounds: 4 rounds into Panel 1 and 4 rounds into Panel 5!
Strap Measurements: The strap lengths provided in the pattern instructions measure 13.5” / 34.5 cm before working the buttonhole row. Step-by-step notes are included to easily adjust these shorter or longer to fit your frame.
Yardage Strategy: Please note that the specified skein quantities do not include extra yardage for swatching or modifying length. If you plan to knit a large gauge swatch or lengthen your tank, you may want to grab an extra skein of Fluffy Fingering to ensure you don't run short!

I’m loving the yarn and the pattern and enjoying playing with lace. I love Ewe Ewe yarns in general and this sport weight does not disappoint. I’m finding the pattern so sweet with the onesies and twosies. Cute idea.
I’m making some socks with the fingering weight and it’s knitting up beautifully.
This is a colorful, easy pattern to follow. It's has clear directions. I haven't started mine yet but gathering my yarn for new great grandson.
I love the Ewe So Sporty Merino yarn so much. To me it is the best Merino wool I’ve ever used.
Used aquamarine bulky for baby blanket. Thoroughly enjoyed using this yarn abd blanket is beautiful!
I have always loved Ewe Ewe yarn! Over many years, I have knitted with every yarn weight, they all knit up beautifully and every stitch stands out in a way that other brands don’t. Picture 3D versus flat.
I am unable to remember repetitive knitting rows. Memorizing is a mightmare for me. But this knit was so easy that even I was able to retain the pattern in my head after looking at the row. The Ewe Ewe yarn is soft, stretchy and the perfect yarn!
Pattern is very pretty. Looks great. EweEwe yarn awesome as ever!
When I ordered I didn’t notice the yarn was worsted weight. I completed a couple of projects recently with Fluffy Fingering yarn and that’s what I expected this kit to be. I’m going to order Fluffy Fingering Yarn to make this cowl and hope that works out.
I downloaded the winter cowl pattern and am going to use the worsted to make that.
It’s all a win-win for me and I’ve learned to be more aware.
I love your yarn, patterns, doing business with you…. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm.
What a cute cowl! I’m going to make it in several colors for friends. The yarn is so nice to work and I enjoyed every stitch!
The colors are beautiful purchased Poppy and Sky Blue to make scarves for my granddaughters.
This cowl has a pretty pattern that is not difficult. Will be a nice addition to my winter outfits.
