NOTES

This is my second Tip Top Tank, and I’m sure there will be more.

MODIFICATIONS

1x1 tubular cast on for both hems
- Used Andrea Mowry’s Cast On
- After Cast On, 1st Row: Purl, Slip 1 knit stitch (as if to purl); 2nd Row: Knit, Slip 1 purl stitch; Row 3: Purl, Slip 1 knit stitch (as if to purl); Row 4: Knit, Slip 1 purl stitch Be sure that the stitches (purl and knit) are not twisted on the needle. If they are knit, purl, or slip into back leg to untwist.
Used a genius modification by Recreates (on Ravelry) to raise the back by 6 rows
I also added some extra rows for the length.
