The SABAI Top by Susanne Müller is a simple summer tank with a boat neckline. It is super easy to knit, requires only a few techniques making it an ideal project for beginners. The SABAI Top No. 1 features ribbed borders while SABAI Top No. 2 is knit completely in stockinette stitch.

Both versions are worked seamlessly top down. First, the neckline is worked in the round and increases are worked for the slanted shoulders. For the armholes, front and back sections are worked separately back and forth. The stitches of front and back are then joined and worked in the round.
