Grab this FREE TRUTHFULNESS Tank Top Summer Knitting Pattern, this is a super easy beginner top knitting pattern that’s knit loosely in the round and flat with fingering weight yarn.
Dear Readers,
I want you all to know that I’m listening. Some of you have contacted me to let me know that downloading the free knitting pattern is confusing or you’re uncomfortable logging into the site, so I created pages that have the free pattern visible online, so you don’t have to download anything. These free versions are supported by ads. I hope you enjoy the free patterns and I can’t wait to see what you make! Tag me on IG #bromefields :)
For those of you who would like an ad free version I’m offering a downloadable version for a small fee.
I know I can’t make everyone happy, but I’m trying :)
Thank you all so much for joining me on this knitting journey!
