That was a fun video, Leslie. I like your choices, but for my age, over 65, I prefer tees. I need a little cap sleeve, or even a bit longer sleeve. I just finished Drops Halo tee. It turned out pretty good, for my first. Happy knitting!

[@jacqueismaking]

I’m watching this and panicking that I don’t have a single tank top to knit!!! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

[@knitcalifornia]

hahaha that's fair if tank tops aren't your thing! but if they are... hopefully you like one of these suggestions hahaha

[@PelafinaLievre]

If you’re looking for a casual v neck tank, the Tolsta Tank comes in that style. Along with a square neck and vest style

[@junimondify]

Thanks for trying to include centimetres, I appreciate it!

[@knitwithjo]

so fun, I love planning and dreaming about future knits. For your v-neck tank, I would highly recommend the Tolsta Tank by Rebecca Clow (creabea). I got to test knit the v-neck cami version in fingering weight, and I absolutely love the fit. And it's such a versatile pattern - size inclusive, 3 different styles (v-neck, round neck, square neck), two gauge options (fingering & dk), and options for bust shaping! Definitely worth checking out!

[@kristinknits]

I am currently working on Caidree's Avani Shirt V-neck in Knitting for Olive Pure Silk and I am really enjoying it!

[@cali.ana.stitchery]

I’m currently knitting on an outline tee by Jessie maed designs!! I loveeee the drape and airiness that I’m getting from my dusty yarn co alpaca sport 😍😍😍

[@knitcalifornia]

Yessss the alpaca sport is sooo good!

[@KnitsByNayla]

I just bought a bunch of those tanks a few weeks ago. Ordered one and after I got it I immediately ordered more. It would be awesome to have a knit version. Fully relate to your inspo. The Tip Top Tank by Emily Bolduan (free pattern!) and the Tolsta Tank Cami (different gauge or neckline options) would be my vneck tank recommendations.

[@EllaLeigh]

Mini mock neck! Mini mock neck!! I have the Pisu Top on my list! And maybe a Tolsta Tank. I’m working on my first Tolsta Tee now

[@knitcalifornia]

Yesssss I can't wait to see your finished yellow mini mock neck!!

[@the_copycat_stitch]

Have you looked into the Knit Girl Summer top by Joan Ho for your fingering weight tank top? I think that one's at a smaller gauge. I made it a few years ago and don't really remember the details, but I think it would be pretty easy to customize.

[@PelafinaLievre]

With the mini mock neck tank, the back is supposed to be shorter than the front. I also raised mine up and added bust increases after the sleeve split. You might find that your back panel works better than you expected, especially if you don’t want your bra showing. Adding on: I’m on my second. Only problem with the first is I was too stubborn to crack into a third skein to make mine longer.

[@knitcalifornia]

Interesting, good to know!! I'll have to do some additional measurements!

[@A2Z_Knits]

Your tank design is beautiful!! (I’ve seen the updates from insta and it’s amazing) I think I might try the mini mock neck tank, it looks good on so many people and the gauge surprisingly doesn’t scare me too much!

[@knitcalifornia]

Thank you so much!!

[@alicemarchetti4340]

What a fun video! I see you definitely have a type in the tank you want to make😂 but they're all really cute so I get it😊 I'm team blue yarn for the Rib to Your Measures, the purple options were really nice but I just love blues too much😂

[@knitcalifornia]

I'm definitely in a high neck, high back tank top mood! 🤣🤣🤣

[@alicemarchetti4340]

@@knitcalifornia also I forgot to mention, I have a suggestion for your fingerings weight V neck camisole! It's the Tolsta Tank by the crea bea, that's just been released😍 It's a huge, beautiful pattern with tons of options, I haven't made it yet but I plan to!

[@picsofknits]

I've made Ribbed to Your Measure twice last year, I really like it! if bra friendly is an important factor though it definitely isn't that 😅 the colours you have picked out are so pretty

[@knitcalifornia]

Oh good! I have a couple bras that I like to wear with these types of tops, so hopefully they'll work for this one! Thank you!!

[@PelafinaLievre]

@@knitcaliforniaNow that’s a video: bras I wear with my hand knit tanks. The struggle is real

[@knitcalifornia]

[@angelinacrafts5385]

Did you find the Line yarn at Apricot Yarn? I think it would be great to try. But the purple tank kit sounds like you might cast it on first. So pretty.

[@knitcalifornia]

Yes! They have it at Apricot Yarn!
