The Canyon Stripe Tank is built the way a canyon is built — in vertical columns of color, each one a slightly different tone, separated by a thin line the way a seam of harder rock divides a sandstone face.
Five colors work together across a striped panel construction. The panels are knit flat and seamed, giving you clean, pressable edges and a garment that holds its shape. The armhole shaping is simple and clean; the neckline dips just enough to feel modern without being precious.
This is a pattern for knitters who are comfortable with reading charts and carrying two colors, but who don't want to juggle complicated construction. It rewards careful yarn selection — try tonal, slightly heathered yarns for the most canyon-like effect.
