Waist shaping
You should be about 7” from your cast on edge.
Next row, K60 (65,70) PM. K60 (65,70) PM.
Your markers now divide the stitches in half and will mark your waist shaping.
Knit 5 rows. On row 6, decrease as follows :
Decrease Row – SM, K2tog, knit to 2 sts before next marker. SSK, SM, K2tog, knit to last 2 sts. SSK.
Repeat decrease row every 6th row 4 times.
(This is a long tank. If you prefer it to be shorter, here’s where you should modify. Begin your circley chart earlier than suggested during the decreases, therefore shortening the space between the circles and the top)
But if you’re going for Maya’s long look:
IF YOU ARE KNITTING THE SMALL, BEGIN THE CIRCLEY PATTERN AFTER YOUR THIRD DECREASE.
(You will be about 10” from the cast on edge).
IF YOU ARE KNITTING THE MED OR LG, COMPLETE ALL 4 DECREASES AND THEN BEGIN THE PATTERN. (You will be about 11” from our cast on edge.)
For all sizes, 16 sts will have been decreased. (104, 114, 124 sts)
Make sure the waist fits around the ribcage without too much negative ease, so the top will not gap.
Next you will continue to work the design on the front, while dividing for the halter at the same time.

Circley Circle Design
You will begin the circle design in the front when you are 10” (11,11) from the cast on edge as specified on the previous page.
Your markers divide the front and back stitches. Choose which side you want to be the front and mark (with 2 additional stitch markers) the center 28 stitches on that side, so you can work the chart.
