So let me now get started and tell you what you will need in order to crochet this amazing Summer Tank Top.

Summer Tank Top instructions
The top is crochet as a one part. 
The pattern uses only basic crochet stitches - chains and double crochets.
This top is crochet from the bottom up and you just need to measure the body circumference and crochet the body part accordingly.
The direction shown are for girls size (8 years) but can be easily converted into bigger size or smaller size – just by making the starting part (foundation chain) - the bottom part according to the circumference of your body.

For this girls size you will need:

Yarn: Alize Bella Ombre Batic: 100% cotton, 250g, 900m

For this pattern you will need 3.50 mm crochet hook.

Pattern Notes

1) Before you start take a measurement of height of your kids body and a body measurement (please see the final measurement of the tank top below).

2) This pattern is for child size, girl 8 years old, but you can easily adapt to a smaller size or bigger size just by reducing or increasing the number of ch and rows. Remember that when making your tank top bigger you will need more yarn.

3) A Ch 3 at beg of the row counts as dc throughout and each rounds ends with slip stitch placed in 3rd chain from beg

4) The tank top is made as a one part with 2 shoulders stitched together

You can customize your fit based on how oversized you would like the garment to be. The top is worked from bottom to top, so additional rows in the panel give you additional length and extra stitches give you additional width.

Difficulty Level: Level 1 – Easy, for beginners

US crochet term:

SlSt – slip stitch
CH/s – chain/s
DC - double crochet
SK - skip
T - turn
ST/s - stitch(es)
REP - repeat
YO – yarn over
