Finally - warmer weather is here.
This tank top is going to be the easiest and quickest project you'll wear all Summer.
I had a few Moms share they've made a few in different colours for their daughters.
I used Shine from WeCrochet in the colourway Reef.
This colour looks like vacation and perfect for a Summer top.
It's made up of 60% Pima Cotton and 40% natural beech wood fiber, giving it the perfect sheen for sunny days. It has a beautiful soft drape and works up quickly as a worsted weight yarn.
It's available in 30 colours!! Check them out, click HERE
I have a VIDEO TUTORIAL that shows you exactly how to make this Summer tank.
Click HERE to watch.
Notes before you begin:
-Chain 1 at the beginning of each row, does NOT count as a stitch
-keep trying on the rectangle so it fits around your body exactly how you want it.
-The tank is made up of one rectangle, seamed, and straps added by attaching yarn
-make sure to knot the yarn to the tank top before you begin each strap.
