While the racerback tank top brings a healthy and sexy look, the traditional pineapple crochet stitches add a feminine and delicate style.
It’s the type of mix-match I always love to try xD

Materials: ( I used )
5mm crochet hook
Worsted weight yarn: white color ( about 300 gr for the sample- size L/ 100 gr or 174 yds per skein )
( Check out my Yarn shop – free worldwide shipping )
Yarn needle
Scissors
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 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 choose your best technique 🙂
Special stitch used:
2dc-V stitch: ( 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc ) into same stitch or space
