While I absolutely love this Tarmac tank, I’m not sure how I feel about the size of the armholes. While I was knitting this I knew they would be larger than ones I make on other garments, but it wasn’t until blocking that they really seemed to be so large.

The tank is really comfortable. I did add a couple of inches to the length, as I am not into a (what would be for me) super-cropped tank. I have no idea how many stitches I ended up with as I continued to increase in pattern, but I knit past the armholes for about 13″.

I think the length is perfect. I really don’t even mind the width of the armholes, but I’m going to have to step up my cute bra game. I was brainstorming with my friend Jenni last weekend and we came up with the idea of possibly knitting some lacy addition there. I would probably use the cream color and just pick up along the bottom edge and make some very simple lace short rows. Probably two inches would be perfect. I’m not sure I will do it, because I think it as is, as long as I have a suitable bra. The tank is breezy and super comfortable so far. I used the recommended yarn, YOTH Best Friend in mint and vanilla. The pattern was well written and a pleasure to knit, and the result is super light and airy tank.
