NOTES
This was a breeze to knit. This is also my first “summer” knit garment. Summers in Anchorage, Alaska are pretty mild, so I can wear sweaters year round (especially on cooler summer nights). However, as soon as I saw this tank I knew that I would like to try to knit it.
MODIFICATIONS
1x1 tubular cast on for both hems
Used Andrea Mowry’s Cast On
After Cast On, 1st Row: Purl, Slip 1 knit stitch (as if to purl); 2nd Row: Knit, Slip 1 purl stitch; Row 3: Purl, Slip 1 knit stitch (as if to purl); Row 4: Knit, Slip 1 purl stitch Be sure that the stitches (purl and knit) are not twisted on the needle. If they are knit, purl, or slip into back leg to untwist.
Used a genius modification by Recreates (on Ravelry) to raise the back by 6 rows

Final Thoughts
This pattern is one of the best. Free, fun, and a breeze to knit — I loved wearing it almost as much as I loved knitting it. Almost.
