Materials & Tools Required

To follow along with this project, you will need the following materials:

  • **Yarn:** 2 skeins of Category 3 (Light/DK) Cotton or Bamboo yarn (very breathable) approx. 250 yards.
  • **Hook:** Size G-6 (4.0 mm) hook.
  • **Notions:** Tapestry needle, scissors, measuring tape.
  • **Skill Level:** Intermediate.

Stitch Abbreviations & Guide

Before beginning, review these common abbreviations used throughout the pattern:

  • **CH:** Chain
  • **SC:** Single crochet
  • **DC:** Double crochet
  • **INC:** Increase
  • **BLO:** Back loop only

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to complete the project. Keep your stitch counts consistent!

The Under-Bust Band

  • Row 1: Ch 9. SC in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across. Turn. (8 sts)
  • Rows 2100: Ch 1, SC in BLO across. Turn. (Repeat until the band stretches to fit your ribcage comfortably). Do not fasten off.
  • The Main Bodice

  • Rotate the band. Work SC evenly across the long edge of the band (1 SC per row). Turn.
  • Work rows of alternating SC and DC to create texture, decreasing 1 stitch at the beginning and end of every row to create a triangular halter shape.
  • Continue until the top width is approximately 4 inches wide. Fasten off.
  • Straps and Borders

  • Join yarn to the top corner, Ch 100 for the neck strap. Repeat for the other side. Join yarn to the bottom corners of the band and Ch 120 for the back tie straps. Weave in all ends.
  • Pro Tips for Success & Pinterest Styling

    Fiber Choice: Cotton/bamboo is highly recommended. Acrylic will trap heat and stretch out too much, losing its shape when worn.

    Pinterest Styling: Wear the top with highwaisted linen pants or a denim skirt. Take outdoor photos with warm, bright sunkissed lighting.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: How do I ensure it fits correctly?

    A: Keep checking the band length against your under-bust. The triangles should cover your chest comfortably. Add more rows if needed.

    Q: Can I make it longer?

    A: Yes, continue working rows down from the bottom of the band to create a full tank top.

    Conclusion

    Mastering this project is a wonderful milestone in your crochet journey. Once you finish, be sure to pin it on Pinterest to save it for your next crafting session and share your beautiful results with the community! Happy crocheting!
