Cable Strap Tank Knitting Pattern

Make a tank top worth wearing all summer

You already know what it's like to finish something and feel genuinely proud to put it on. This one earns that feeling. V-neckline, textured cable straps, a slightly flared body that sits well on real people.

It knits up in stockinette from the top down, so the body moves quickly once the straps are done. Two shape options, straight or slightly flared, so you can adjust the fit to your preference before you cast off.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: Bust 31.5" to 59" (80–150 cm), 15 sizes total

• Cable straps work on a simple 4-row repeat, so the texture looks complex but stays manageable once you're in the rhythm
• Knitted in two halves from the top down, then joined in the round, giving you clear progress checkpoints and no guessing about fit
• 15 sizes with a recommended ease of 0–2 inches, so you can choose exactly how it sits on your body

"I was so happy with how the straps turned out. It looks like something I would have bought."
