Homestead Tank

Homestead Tank - Inspiration

Through the Eyes of a Machine Knitter

This tank is a simple shape that will inspire any sweater design.
The knit and purl checkerboard stitch pattern with the addition of some eyelets can be used for sleeveless sweaters, vests, cardigans or pullovers ... you're the designer!

The buttoned back adds interest and the sweater could be reversed for fun.

You can knit this on the machine!
  • Brother knitters: use a garter carriage
  • Hand manipulate the stitches ... it's still faster than knitting by hand
  • Use a ribber and transfer stitches between the beds

PLUS: This stitch pattern is reversible, so it would make a great scarf or shawl
