Materials: ( I used )
4mm crochet hook
Light weight/DK yarn: cotton ( 200 gr for the sample- size M/ย 125 gr or 300 yds per skein )
Yarn needle
Scissors

Abbreviations

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each round/row instead of ch3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch2, dc into same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc for every first dc of each round/row, so just choose your best technique ๐Ÿ™‚

Special stitch used:

3dc- V stitch: ( 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc ) into same stitch

Skill level: Intermediate

Gauge: 10 double crochet stitches x 5 rows approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated ).

This crochet wide strap tank top pattern fits size M ( chest size: 32 to 34 inches )

    Most tank tops that have an upper and a lower pattern end at the middle of my bust, this pattern looks nice in that I could simply add more rows to make it end where it needs to… Nice pattern
