With sunny days are officially here, let’s add some bright and lively colors of Spring and Summer by crocheting a striped tank top. The simplicity of the stitches used in this pattern makes it an easy crochet garment for most crocheters.

Materials: ( I used )
3.5 mm crochet hook
Light weight/ DK yarn: cyan blue and hot pink (200 gr for the sample – size M/ 100 gr or 328 yds per skein)
Yarn needle
Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each round/row 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 round/row, so just choose your best technique 🙂
