You will LOVE this fast, easy crochet tank top! If you are a crochet beginner this can easily be your first crochet wearable. It is THAT easy! If you’re an experienced crocheter, you will love that this is so fast and easy you can whip up a new crochet top in no time.
Little Bitty Crochet Tank Top
This little crochet tank top was specifically designed to be “little” to wear under a coordinating crochet granny square cardigan. The video tutorial for the crochet granny square cardigan is available at my YouTube Channel Crazy Cool Crochet
While it was designed to be short and snug, it can easily be adjusted longer and/or wider. No multiple needed!! No increasing or decreasing!
Acrylic or Cotton Yarn?
This crochet tank top was made with acrylic yarn that is super stretchy (see video or materials list below). If you prefer, considering that this design is meant for summer temperatures or to wear under a cardigan, it might be more comfortable in a cotton yarn. Feel free to substitute yarns.
