A fashionable twist on the classic twinset, Rilke by Alison Green features an eyelet lace pattern as a panel on the tank and along the edge of the V-neck. Always have the right piece to grab for an elegant look that will keep you cool and comfortable even as the weather heats up.
The Rilke tank is worked in one piece from the bottom up to the underarms, where the back and front are completed separately and joined at the shoulders with a three-needle bind off.
Lace pattern is both charted and written out.
