FO: Aquae Tank

Pattern: Aquae Tank

Yarn: Cascade Ultra Pima, in white and fuschia

Needles: 3.75 mm circulars

Mods: Changed the neckline and armhole edging to an applied i-cord, rather than ribbing. Ravelry project page can be found here.

I'm glad I got this tank finished before the end of summer! I instantly loved this pattern when I saw it- talk about a great summer staple. I wanted something bright and fresh. I originally would have like a white and tangerine orange sort of stripe, but couldn't find the right shade of orange that I had in mind. This bright fuchsia is a good compromise, though.

If I were knitting this again, I'd make the ribbing a bit longer. And really, there was no excuse for me to not have tried it on- the whole thing is knitted top down, so I really should have put it on to figure that out. An extra half an inch of ribbing would have been a bit better- but I can always undo the hem and add it!

I love this tank, it's exactly what a wanted- a classic summer tank that goes with everything and feels effortless. I feel like I could knit a whole bunch of these for summer in different colours and be happy. But a word of advice, if you are knitting this- don't weave in your ends BEFORE doing the armhole and neck edging. I can't tell you how many times I went to pick up a stitch and accidentally unpicked a woven in end. This also tells me that I should probably weave in my ends a bit more aggressively, though.
