I’ve been searching online for a free pattern for a for my body type and I’m just not sure. I am a 42DD and 36/38inch Ok 40inch if I don’t want the muffin top waist and most of these tank tops are for shapely and smaller frames. I don’t want to knit something and then have it look like a bag filled with sausages. I you get what I mean.
I think what I am looking for is something in stockinette st. No thin straps, no lace, no ribbed hems ,no cleavage shots,no form fitting .
Also, I just read that Cotton yarn will stretch the longer you have it on. I thought cotton would be the best yarn to use for a summer top? I wanted to try and knit some tank tops up for work, that’s why I need something very simple and machine washable and dryer safe and , something that will not be hot.
I work in a Elementary school and summer cleaning is very hot and sweaty work. There is no AC.:hot:
Cotton works fine, it does stretch a bit when you wear it, but goes back to it’s knit size when washed and dried. If you knit it in a biased/diagonal pattern, it won’t stretch much at all. The chevron rib tank could work. You may need to sign up for the site to download the pattern, but don’t have to subscribe to the newsletters. If you make the largest size I think that will work for you, the ribbing helps snug it in without being too tight.
