Noah's Landing Tank Top by Sharon Hartley
What Is Being Made
Noah's Landing is a cropped-style layering tank designed by Sharon Hartley as a summer handknit project. This comfy tank top is inspired by the designer's family lake house visits in early summer, featuring a wave pattern that evokes relaxing vacations by the water. The garment is sized to fit bust measurements from 33 inches up to 63 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of body sizes.
Design and Construction
This is an advanced-level knitting project that combines technical skill with wearable summer style. The wave pattern is a key design element that requires attention to detail and understanding of stitch manipulation. The cropped length and tank silhouette make Noah's Landing versatile for layering over other garments or wearing as a standalone piece during warm weather.
Knitting Techniques Used
- Circular knitting: The pattern employs circular needles for the main body construction, allowing for seamless knitting in the round
- Wave pattern: A signature stitch pattern that creates visual texture and movement throughout the garment
- Yarn overs: Used within the wave pattern to create decorative holes and shaping
- 3-needle bind off: Applied for finishing the armhole edges with a professional, secure closure
- Armhole edging: Finished with a circular needle or double-pointed needles for a polished edge detail
Stitches and Abbreviations
The pattern uses standard knitting abbreviations including k (knit), k2tog (knit 2 stitches together for decreasing), yo (yarn over for creating decorative holes), BO (bind off), and CO (cast on). The wave pattern likely incorporates combinations of these stitches to achieve its distinctive appearance.
Materials and Tools
Yarn: Knit in luxurious Berroco Summer Silk, a DK weight yarn that provides breathability and drape ideal for summer wear. The yarn choice ensures the handknit remains cool even when worn by the beach.
Needles: US 8 (5.0 mm) circular needles slightly shorter in length than the bust size are required for the main body. A 16-inch US 8 (5.0 mm) circular needle or double-pointed needles are needed for the armhole edging and 3-needle bind off. Needle size may be adjusted as needed to obtain proper gauge.
Skill Level
This pattern is rated as advanced difficulty, making it suitable for experienced knitters who are comfortable with wave patterns, yarn overs, decreases, and seamless circular knitting techniques.
