Admiral's Knot Halter

 

Nautical knots and rope-splicing techniques inspire this racerback tank.  A tightly woven braid integrates the slip stitch ribbed collar and armhole edging into a single, fluid form -- punctuated by an open keyhole loop.   A lighter weight Stockinette stitch body is worked from the bottom up and sewn to the racerback collar.
