Ready… set… knit!
The Speedway Tank rounds out the Speedway Collection with a sporty, summer-ready vibe and plenty of texture to keep things interesting.
Worked from the top down, this breezy tank features crisp stripes created with a playful mini bobble stitch that brings movement and dimension to the fabric. You’ll begin by knitting the back and front flat before joining in the round at the underarm. Clean, folded hems at the neckline, armholes, and waist finish it off with a sleek, tailored edge.
Whether you’re trackside or just soaking up the sun, the Speedway Tank is built for comfort, style, and a little extra horsepower in your wardrobe.
