Light Crochet Tank Top Pattern

Light Crochet Tank Top Pattern

This Light Crochet Tank Top is the perfect addition to your wardrobe.  It’s a clean, minimalist basic that can be paired with jeans, shorts, or even tucked into a skirt.

I’ve been doing some post-spring cleaning and trying to streamline my closet.  I wanted to create a tee that could be my all-purpose go-to and which I could wear with a lot of other pieces. This Light Crochet Tank Top really fits the bill. People who like to have a bit more coverage over their chest may really appreciate the coverage they get with this crochet design.

The shift shape od the crochet top is simple and flattering while the neckline uses the offset filet net stitch to give this top a pop of texture and modern design.

The rest of this cute top is worked up in single and double crochet, so it’s an easy knit that’s great for beginners and experts alike.

I used Universal Cotton Supreme to give this crochet tank top some extra softness and squish.
