Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Main Body

Foundation Chain

Make a slip knot.
Chain until your row wraps around your chest (leaving a gap at the back for the corset tie). For reference, chain 88.
Adjust chain count as needed for your size.

Row 1: Double V Stitch

Chain 2 more (do not count as a stitch).
In the third chain from the hook, work 2 double crochets into the same stitch.
Skip 1 chain, work 2 double crochets into next chain. Repeat from * to * across until you have 2 chains left.
Skip 1 chain; in the last chain, work 1 double crochet.
Change color seamlessly by pulling new color through the last 2 loops of the last stitch.

Row 2 and Beyond

Chain 2, turn.
Work 2 double crochets into each V (the space between double crochet pairs).
When you reach the end, work a single double crochet in the last stitch.
Change color as desired by finishing the last double crochet with a new yarn.
Keep repeating Row 2 until the piece reaches your desired length (e.g., 18 rows). Finish with the same color you started with for a neat look.
Fasten off, cut yarn, and weave in ends.

2. Straps

Marking Placement

Try on the top and use stitch markers to mark strap placements.
Ensure symmetry by counting stitches.

Making Straps

Attach yarn at your stitch marker.
Chain 2, work 2 double crochets in each V space, across the strap section width.
At the end, work 1 double crochet in the stitch where your marker is.
Use the same stitch pattern and color changing technique as for the body.
Repeat for both straps, working rows until desired length (e.g., 29 rows).
Fasten off and weave in all ends.

Single Crochet Edges

Attach yarn to the side of the strap.
Work 2 single crochets into the side of each row along strap edges.
Do not single crochet across the area that will join to the top’s body.
Repeat for both sides of each strap.

Weaving in Ends

Use a tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends under the single crochet borders for a neat, flat finish.

3. Finishing Body Edges

Work a simple single crochet border around the front and back top edges for a straight, tidy look.
Weave in ends with your tapestry needle.

4. Attaching Straps

With tapestry needle and yarn, sew the strap ends to the back top edge using an invisible stitch.
Always work on the wrong side for the neatest finish.
Secure and weave in any remaining ends.

5. Corset Tie for Back

Lacing Strap

Chain a long strap (~150 chains) or make longer depending on your gap.
For comfort and strength, work a row of single crochet back along the chain.
Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Threading

Weave the strap through the back top edge every 3 rows for a simple corset-style closure.
Adjust spacing as needed for fit and comfort.

Conclusion

Your crochet tank top is now ready to wear! With its soft texture, adjustable lacing, and easy construction, it’s bound to become a warm-weather favorite. Don’t forget to celebrate your accomplishment—and maybe even make a few more in different colorways.

Pro Tip

When changing colors, always finish your double crochet by pulling the new color through the last two loops—this gives the neatest edge for color blocks.
