Peplum tank is such a lovely outfit for teen girls and young women. If you can’t get enough of the first crochet Peplum Tank Top with ribbed lines and lacy stitches I made. You might want to try this one.

Here’s my second crochet design – a flattering, chic style with ombre hues.

Abbreviations

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch (counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so just choose your best technique 🙂

Special stitches used: 

2dc- V stitch: ( 2dc, ch1, 2dc ) into same stitch or space.

This crochet Pineapple Peplum tank top pattern fits size S/M ( chest size: 30 to 34 inches )

Gauge: 12 double crochet stitches x 5 rows approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
