When I saw Lion Brands new Botanic yarn I knew I had to design something summery, delicate and romantic. I wanted some sort of lace stitches incorporated but also wanted this top to be functional. I ended up with The Summer Blush Tank Crochet Pattern!
This was such a blast to make. My favorite part is the neckline. I was a little worried when I started the design on how to achieve the cinched in sweetheart look for it. But surprisingly, it came together almost immediately with only 1 rework to get it right. It’s kind of amazing what can be done with just a few minor adjustments!
It’s also crocheted from the top down and is very easy to customize to your liking. You can add or remove as many rows to the upper half of your top. Every body is different so you may need a little more or less coverage than the suggested amount in the pattern. Once you move onto the lace rows you can also add or remove as many rows in multiples of 2 that you would like. So if you want a longer tank just add more! If you want a cute cropped look, remove some rows! You can’t mess it up!
I have a full video tutorial available if you are a visual learner and a lion brand kit if you plan on purchasing yarn. The botanic yarn has a bunch of pretty colors available.
