Tremezzo Tank, English

The Tremezzo Tank is part of the collection I have named after some of my favorite places in Italy. Tremezzo is a beautiful small town on the Como Lake, and home to the Villa Carlotta with the old frescos by the Danish artist, Thorvaldsen, and the amazing gardens.

The tank is as simple as the town: just a cute little summer top, with some fun details. It is all worked in garter stitch, with I-cord edges that also make up the shoulder straps. Work it in a soft cotton, in a fun summer yarn, or even in a light merino for a layering piece you can use all year round.
