Pyrite Tank by Two of Wands
What Is Being Made
The Pyrite Tank is a sleeveless knit top designed as a downloadable PDF pattern from independent designer Two of Wands. This garment is pictured in size Small on a model with a 31-inch bust and is designed with 0 to 4 inches of ease, making it suitable for close to fitted wear. The tank top construction uses a structured stitch pattern to create a refined, textured finish.
Knitting Techniques
This intermediate-level knitting project employs several advanced techniques to achieve its finished appearance. The primary construction method uses half fisherman's rib stitch, a textured stitch pattern worked over a multiple of 2 plus 1 stitches. This stitch creates depth and visual interest while maintaining structure in the fabric. The pattern also incorporates specialty decreases including double left leaning decrease (DLLD) and double right leaning decrease (DRLD), which are used for shaping the garment. Additional techniques include knitting through the back loop (K tbl) and knit one below (K1B) stitches, which contribute to the half fisherman's rib texture. The pattern is written in standard US knitting terms.
Stitches Used
- Half fisherman's rib stitch (primary stitch pattern)

Materials and Gauge
The Pyrite Tank is worked in Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton yarn in the colorway Charcoal (761-150). This worsted weight yarn (weight category 4) provides 186 yards per 170 meters per skein. The pattern requires 3 to 5 skeins depending on size. Two needle sizes are needed: Size US 7 (4.5mm) straight needles for the main fabric and Size US 6 (4mm) circular needles measuring 16 inches (40cm) for ribbed edgings. The recommended gauge is 14 stitches and 38 rows over 4 inches (10cm) in half fisherman's rib stitch on size US 7 needles when blocked. Additional supplies include stitch holders or scrap yarn for holding stitches and a tapestry needle for finishing.
