Product Description
This is a fairisle tank top perfect for layering. This works really well with a superwash DK as the gentle stretching of the merino relaxes the fairisle really well.
This pattern is best worked in two semi solid colours rather than a highly contrasting hand dyed or the pattern will be lost.
It is knitted in the round up until the armholes and is the knit flat for the back and front and seamed at the shoulders.
Short row shaping is used to create a smooth seam on the shoulders.
Sizes go up to a 60inch bust.

Maple Smoke Tank by Fyberspates
What is Being Made
The Maple Smoke Tank is a versatile knitted tank top designed by Jeni Hewlett and published by Fyberspates. Named after the warm, earthy colours used throughout the design, this tank top works beautifully as a standalone garment or as a layering piece to create cosy, textured outfits. The pattern is available in an extensive range of sizes from UK size 4 through to size 36, accommodating bust measurements from 71cm to 153cm (28 to 60 inches), making it accessible for a wide variety of body types and preferences.
Sizing and Fit
The Maple Smoke Tank is designed to be worn with approximately 2cm of negative ease, though the final fit depends on personal preference. The designer recommends sizing down one size from your actual bust measurement for a super-fitted look while maintaining enough ease to layer garments underneath. The garment length ranges from 52.5cm to 62.5cm depending on the size selected, providing a classic tank proportioning suitable for various styling options.
Knitting Techniques and Construction
This intermediate-level knitting project employs fundamental techniques suitable for knitters with some experience. The tank top is constructed using standard knitting methods that allow for the creation of a fitted, wearable garment. The design demonstrates how careful shaping and sizing can produce a professional-looking tank that flatters multiple body types.
Yarn and Materials
The Maple Smoke Tank is worked in DK weight yarn, a versatile yarn weight that provides excellent stitch definition while remaining lightweight enough for comfortable wear in a sleeveless garment. DK weight yarn allows for detailed stitch work and creates a fabric with good drape, making it ideal for a tank top that can be worn alone or layered over other clothing.
