FP (finished pattern): Clara Tank
Here’s a little something I’ve been working up in lettuce knit’s own line of hand-dyed yarns – dyed by me! This one uses a light cotton tape that comes in huge skeins.
Clara Tank
This easy and fast-knitting tank is knit entirely in the round with no seams whatsoever! A fun lace edging lends impact to the simple and flattering shape, and frames the neck along front and back edges.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Bust: 30 [32, 34, 36, 38, 42, 46, 50] inches
MATERIALS
lettuce knit hand-dyed cotton tape [100% cotton, 475 yards/225 g]
1 [1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2] skeins
(approx. 370 [405, 470, 505, 575, 695, 760, 890] yards of heavy worsted weight yarn)
6.5 mm 24” or 36” circular needle
Spare needle for binding off
Stitch markers

Here’s a couple photos of the currently available colours.
l-r
Terracotta, blush, mango, fuschia (same colour as sample)
l-r
slate grey, purple, light olive
Each skein is 225 grams and 475 yards, and is $34 CDN.
It was a really fun knit, fast, and very satisfying. The upper body (ie. straps) is not really shaped, instead the straps are knit almost straight up to the shoulder, which gives a v-neck and a slight cap sleeve.

I was eyeing that when I stopped into the store on Saturday. Very cute.
Oh, I like that! Super cute and summery. It’s adorable in the pink.
Wow! That’s awesome. Love the color!

I saw that when I was at the store on Saturday and was told the pattern was still being written up and love that it’s finally out in the world for all to enjoy!
Ooo – I am not a big fan of tanktops in general, but I really like this one, quite a bit. And the dyed cotton tape knits up very nicely!!
So cute!! Love the colour too.
Very cute, any chance we can see a modeled shot?
Ooo. Were I not college-student broke, I’d have to try and make this in the purple. It’s a gorgeous design. Bravo!
That there tank is amazingly good-looking!!!

What a great design! I especially like the cap sleeves; sleeveless tops are no longer flattering on me. A winner!
This is lovely! What a great summer pattern. Do you mind if I link to it?
Very pretty!
The top is so cute, and I don’t even wear tanks due to my less than desireable arms. I am already trying to think how i could put sleeves on it. I love it!!
Very cute! Is this designed for close fit?
i love to eat freshly picked lettuce.,..
