I have a chest circumference of 83 cm and I wear a size 2 with 1 cm of ease. I made the I-Cord straps. I use the Famosa color.

Construction details(s)

SEAMLESS (bottom-up, worked flat):

The Hawaï Top tank top is knitted with a single strand of FINGERING weight yarn in a merino, bamboo, and silk blend. You will start by casting on stitches, then knit the back and half-fronts as a single piece, starting with 1x1 twisted ribbing, then transitioning to lace, and working flat until the armholes. You will then work one shoulder at a time, using decreases to simultaneously shape the neckline and armhole, finishing in a point where you will later sew an I-cord strap to your desired height and attach it to the back. Finally, the button band will be crocheted, as will the edging of the neckline and back.
