Step 1: Create the Foundation Chain
The foundation chain will determine the width of your tank top. Measure across your bust and chain the required length.
- Foundation Chain: Ch a multiple of 10 + 2 for turning.
Step 2: Work the Body of the Tank Top
The body of the tank is made in two separate panels (front and back) that are later sewn together.
- Row 1: Dc in the fourth ch from the hook and in each ch across. Ch 2, turn.
- Row 2: Dc in each st across. Ch 2, turn.
Repeat Row 2 until the piece measures your desired length from the bottom hem to the armhole. Remember to leave enough length for the shoulder straps and neckline.
Step 3: Shape the Armholes
After completing the body, it’s time to shape the armholes by decreasing stitches on each side.
- Row 1 (Armhole Shaping): Skip the first st, dc across until 1 st remains, skip last st. Ch 2, turn.
- Row 2: Repeat this decrease row until the armholes reach your desired depth.
Complete the same armhole shaping for the back panel.
Step 4: Crochet the Straps
Once the body and armholes are complete, add straps to each panel.
- Strap Row 1: Join yarn at the top corner of the front panel, ch 2, dc across 4-6 sts depending on desired strap width.
- Continue: Dc in each st across for the length of the strap. Repeat on the opposite side.
Attach matching straps to the back panel in the same way.
Step 5: Assemble the Tank Top
With the front and back panels complete, assemble your tank top.
- Sew the Sides: Use a darning needle to seam the sides of the front and back panels.
- Attach the Straps: Sew the straps from the front panel to the corresponding spot on the back panel, making sure they are even.
Step 6: Add a Finishing Edge (Optional)
To give your tank top a polished look, add a finishing edge along the neckline and armholes.
- Scalloped Edge: Work 5 dc in the same st, skip 1 st, sl st in the next st; repeat around.
- Picot Edge: Sc in the next st, ch 3, sl st in the first ch; repeat around.
Tip: Blocking your tank top after finishing can help the stitches relax and ensure it holds its shape.
