Materials
(I used)
- 3.5 mm crochet hook
- Lightweight/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: 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.
This crochet pink striped tank top pattern fits size S and M (chest size: 30 to 34 inches).
