Roosevelt Tank by Connie Chang Chinchio | This sweet and versatile tank features clean i-cord edges and a simple A-line shape. Short rows help shape and create extra fabric for the face-framing neckline gathers. The gathers are fastened with a statement button—this is your opportunity to use up that special button you’ve been saving. Knit in one piece from the bottom up, finishing couldn’t be easier. Make it longer to wear as a tunic or dress.
