Test Info
BUTTON JAR TANK TOP
Test Knit Deadline: Monday, October 20, 2025. (Please do not stress about the deadline! I understand that everyday life can take away from knitting time. Any and all feedback during the process no matter what stage of completion you reach is greatly appreciated!
Skill Level: Easy Intermediate. Experience knitting in the round with circular needles is preferred.
Yarn: Fingering weight yarn (Sport weight yarn can work too). The yarn I used is Akara Yarns Tweed Fingering which is discontinued, however please feel free to use any Fingering / sock/ 4ply weight yarn of your choosing, as long as you can obtain the gauge. See Yarn amounts below.
Test Knit Pattern: If selected for this test knit, pattern will be emailed to you as a PDF. An Instagram chat group will also be used for testers to share info, photos etc
Some Notes About the Pattern
~ You will need 42 (48, 54, 60, 66)(72, 78, 84, 90) BUTTONS to make this!
~ Tank top is knit in the round from the top down and in one piece. Icord straps are picked up at the edge.
~ Finished project fabric is very stretchy due to using a thin weight yarn with a slightly larger than usual needle size. Choose a size that is close to your bust size or slightly smaller.
