Peonies in bloom always remind me of those first hot, sunny days of summer. I wanted to create a loose, flowing tank with a feminine lace that captures the energy of those days and mimics the romantic feel of the peonies.

Knit in fingering weight yarn, this pattern is graded for finished bust sizes of 32-64 inches. This tank is started with a provisional cast on at the top of the shoulder. The front and back of each strap are worked and then joined after increases. After a few more increases and some stitches cast on for the underarm, the front and back are joined to work in the round. Stockinette is continued for the bust, followed by a lace panel for the remainder of the body.
