Rebecca Leaf Tank

This was a really fun knit. I converted the pattern to be in the round, and I loved that this tank had basically zero finishing. I knit a four stitch i-cord for the straps instead of the crochet chain the pattern called for, and kitchenered it to the back. No seams at all! I did make it shorter than the pattern called for, though worked more lace repeats, as my row gauge was small. I think Rebecca models must be really tall and skinny, as the tank was supposed to be 15" long (normally I lengthen tanks to 13.5" - not shorten them)
