There’s been a lot of love for my crochet shorts patterns roundup (enough that I’ll probably post more soon) so let’s look at some crochet tank top patterns to complete the outfit!
Easy Crochet Tank Top Patterns
None of these crochet tank top patterns are actually difficult, but these first few are one that would be great for new crocheters or as first garment projects.
The Summer Crochet Cropped pattern from KnitCro Addict is super cute, and you don’t have to make it cropped if you don’t want to. it’s worked in mostly double crochet stitches with a little decreasing around the armholes and super cute picot edging. It uses DK weight yarn and has six size options. It’s worked flat in two pieces from the bottom up.
The crochet ribbed tank top by For the Frills is another easy top made in pieces, but these are worked from side to side instead of bottom up. This allows the ribbed stitch to go up and down along the body. There is a fair bit of shaping to make the scoop neck in this manner, but the pattern includes a video tutorial if you need help. It calls for DK weight yarn and there are seven sizes, including options for a cropped or standard length.
The Flower Child Circle Tank from Two of Wands uses worsted weight yarn and a combination of stitches that helps shape the garment and make it more airy as you progress. It’s available in six sizes and you can purchase the pattern directly from Two of Wands or get it as a kit from Lion Brand Yarn.
Eyelet and Mesh Tank Top Patterns
The Peaks Tank Top by Anna Erlandsson is a free Ravelry download that has pretty chevrons made with eyelets in an allover pattern. Note there are only two sizes on this one but you could change up the sizing by using different yarn or a bigger hook if you need to. As written the pattern calls for sport weight yarn. It’s worked from the bottom up.
Add some mesh to your wardrobe with the Summer Vacation top from Mama in a Stitch. This easy top is very close to just being two rectangles stitched together. It comes in six sizes and uses DK weight yarn. The actual bust circumference of the top ranges from 31 to 51 inches, or 78.74 to 129.5 cm.
The Cleopatra Tank from Two Brothers Blankets has a mesh bodice and calls for a sport weight or light DK yarn. It’s worked from the top down in continuous rounds for the bodice and turned rounds for the body, which is worked in herringbone double crochet. The pattern includes kids’ sizes 2-10 and women’s sizes XS-2X.
The Calvin Tank from Wool and the Gang is made with two rectangles, with a mesh portion at the top and a double crochet body. There are four size options and it includes fun cord and tassel detailing (that is of course optional if you want to keep it plain). You can grab the pattern and watch video tutorials for the design in a class on Craftsy.
A Crocheted Simplicity has a great eyelet crochet tank top pattern worked in sport weight yarn with nine size options. This is a nice alternative to allover mesh that still produces good air flow. this top is worked flat in two identical pieces from the bottom up.
V-Neck Tank Top Patterns
Evelyn and Peter has a cute and easy V-neck tank top known as the Charlie Tank. This one calls for superfine yarn and is available in 7 sizes, with an actual size from 30 to 45 inches, or 76.2 to 114.3 cm.
The Easy Summer House crochet tank top from Briana K Designs has a V-neck and fun braided look straps. It’s designed to be cropped and looks almost like a bra top but you can make it longer if you like. It calls for DK weight yarn and is available in nine sizes, to fit a chest ranging from 25 to 57 inches (63.5 to 144.75 cm) with 3-5 inches (7.6 to 12.7 cm) of negative ease for a close fit.
Add a little extra cuteness to your V-neck with the Scallop V-Neck tank top from For the Frills. This easy design starts from the straps and becomes four triangles that are stitched together to make the V-neck portion, while the body is worked in rounds from the top down. The pattern has seven sizes and calls for a sport weight yarn.
The Chevron tank top from The Knotty Lace uses the chevron shape to make a V neckline. The pattern uses two colors of superfine yarn and is worked from the top down in pieces. There are nine size options to choose from.
Lemon peel stitch is lots of fun to stitch and gives a thick enough fabric that you don’t have to wear another tank top underneath it. This pattern from Heart Hook Home uses fingering weight yarn and comes in nine sizes. The body is worked in a tub with straps added after, giving it a matching V-neck on both sides.
Halter Tops and Other Shapes
The Knotty Lace has a cute light halter top pattern with eyelet columns near the center front. It comes in nine sizes and calls for super fine yarn. This one just looks really comfortable and introduces you to paddle stitch if you don’t already know it (there are video tutorials to help).
Corona from Dora Does Crochet (pattern is free for subscribers) is a simple halter top crochet pattern worked from the top down with a keyhole opening on the back. It calls for sock yarn and comes in seven sizes, with a finished bust measurement ranging from 33.5 to 57.5 inches/85 to 146 cm.
The Rowan Racerback Tank from Cactus and Lace Designs is a fun tank top that’s longer than some of the ones we’ve looked at so far. It uses a DK weight yarn and is available in seven sizes, and meant to be worn with 2-4 inches/5-10 cm of positive ease. The stitch pattern is made with single and double crochet stitches.
The Roxborough crochet tank form The Northern Moose is a racerback style top worked in half double crochet with eyelets. It’s worked in pieces and calls for sport weight yarn. There are eight size options for you to choose from.
Crochet Tank Tops with Fun Stitch Patterns
Granny stitch is one of my favorite easy crochet stitch patterns, and MJ’s Off the Hook Designs has a great tank top worked in granny stitch in fingering weight yarn. The pattern is worked from the top down, has nine size options and you can get the pattern for free with email signup or buy a copy on Etsy.
The Sweet Tea Tank from The Turtle Trunk has a fun textured stitch pattern and a V-neck. It has a bit of a split hem and uses worsted weight yarn. The pattern offers nine sizes and is worked in two pieces from the bottom up. There’s also a video tutorial if you need extra help.
While the body of the Callie Tank Top by Hooked on Patterns is mostly worked in double crochet stitch, the fun lattice panel at the bottom of the tank adds a lot of interest and makes it more fun to stitch. This project is worked in DK weight yarn in two pieces from the bottom up, and there are six size options.
The Textured Stroll tank top from Knits N Knots uses shell stitch on the body and has a high neck and cropped length. Available in nine sizes, the pattern uses fingering weight yarn and is worked flat in two pieces.
KnitCro Addict also has a shell stitch top with a lower neckline and wider straps. It’s worked flat in two pieces from the top down in lace weight yarn and there are six size options.
The lace cami from Hooked on Homemade Happiness uses open shell stitches and V stitches to make a lacier looking top that’s rated for intermediate crocheters. It uses a DK weight yarn and comes in six sizes and is meant to be worn with negative ease.
If you don’t mind piecing your top together, try the Tulip Square Tank from Wilmade. This lovely design is worked in squares and triangles that are stitched together to form the body, and there are four size options. It calls for light weight yarn and there’s a video tutorial as well as written instructions.
And if you want to talk about fun, there’s this cool granny square tank top from Yelena Style Crochet that is as fun to stitch as it is to wear. It uses DK weight yarn and comes in six sizes. The pattern includes written instructions and there is also a video tutorial to help you along.
