Notes

I tested this tank, first time doing nupps! It was overall a great project! I had to restart it multiple times owing to the look of nupps but third time was the charm. I made a size 2, and the end product was as per the size’s mentioned. The mod I did was to do a 4 stitch applied icord rather than a 3 stitch one as per the pattern, however, the latter kept rolling and I didn’t quite like that. Used the same needle that I used for the body to do the icords, specially the 4 stitch one and that helped tremendously with the rolling!

The Truboo yarn is incredibly soft and gets even softer with the washes. It’s a 100% bamboo yarn so expect it to be splitty. To mitigate that, I used not so sharp blunt metal needles for the project and it works :)

This pattern is size inclusive and you’re Definitely in for a lovely, delicate tank that you must own in your wardrobe for the summer!
