Materials Needed:

• Yarn of your choice
• Crochet hook matching your yarn (Example used: Size 2 fine cotton yarn and a 4.25 mm crochet hook)
• Stitch markers or alternative markers such as safety pins, bobby pins, or scrap yarn
• Tape measure (optional, for accurate measurements)

Pattern Overview:

• The tank top is worked in the round from the bottom up.
• It uses a combination of single crochet, double crochet, and front post double crochet stitches.
• The pattern is adjustable in size by increasing or decreasing the initial chain length, ensuring it fits both bust and hips.
• Features two straps and the option for a higher or lower back panel.

Starting Your Tank Top:

Begin with a Slip Knot and Chain:

• Make a slip knot on your hook. Chain a length that is a multiple of 12, ensuring it fits around your bust and hips comfortably. Join with a slip stitch to the first chain to form a ring.

Foundation Row:

• Chain 3 (counts as your first double crochet).
• Make another double crochet in the same stitch.
• Chain one, then make two more double crochet in the same stitch.
• Skip two chains, and in the third chain, make two double crochet, chain one, and two more double crochet.
• Repeat from to around.
• Join with a slip stitch into the top of the beginning chain 3.

Second Row and Beyond:

• Slip stitch into the chain-one space to start the new round.
• Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet), then make a double crochet, chain one, and two more double crochet in the same chain-one space.
• Make a front post double crochet around the next standalone double crochet from the previous row.
• Continue the pattern around, joining with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3.

Creating the Texture:

• Repeat the process for each row, alternating the straightforward double crochets with front post double crochets to create a textured striped effect.

Creating Armholes:

• Once the piece reaches just below the underarm, mark where you want the armholes with stitch markers.
• Work the pattern to the first marker, then turn your work to start working in rows back and forth instead of rounds to create the front panel.

Front and Back Panels:

Front Panel:

• Continue with the established pattern, working back and forth (including back post double crochets when on the wrong side) until the front panel reaches the desired height for the neckline.

Back Panel:

• Repeat the process for the back side of the tank top, matching the front panel in height.

Straps:

• Decide how wide you want your straps. Continue the established pattern for the straps, working back and forth until each strap is long enough to reach the top of your shoulder.
• Join a new yarn to start the second strap in accordance to make sure the pattern matches (both starting on the same side of the work).

Joining Straps:

• With right sides facing each other, use a tapestry needle or the crochet hook to slip stitch or single crochet the ends of the straps together at the shoulders.

Finishing Edges:

• Add a row of single crochet around the armholes and the neckline for a finished look.
• For the bottom, you can add a scalloped edging by following a 2 double crochet, chain one, 2 double crochet pattern into each front post double crochet around.

Final Touches:

• Weave in all loose ends.
• Block your tank top if necessary, depending on the yarn used.
