DESCRIPTION
Introducing the ultimate crochet yoke: a collar so beautifully textured and intricate, you’ll have people wondering whether it’s indeed made with yarn and a hook, or if it’s literally sculpted.

Featuring the signature plump tulip flowers from my Tulips Crochet Collection—my own interpretation of a crochet tulip stitch, the color possibilities for this crochet tank top are endless! Dress it up with a skirt for date night, or dress it down with a pair of jeans for a casual get-together—this tank will make you feel special wherever you go

The For the Love of Tulips Tank is constructed from the top down, allowing you to check the fit as you go. You’ll start with the circular yoke, then move to the short rows and finally you’ll work the body in turned rounds. The back neck is raised so the top sits nicely on your shoulders and back. Lastly, a slip stitch edging is added around the armholes for that perfect finish.

Using a small hook, the fabric is dense and not at all see through, allowing you to wear this with or without a bra on hot summer days! You can also throw this tank on top of a white shirt for a classy and chic outfit to wear to the office.

The printable PDF pattern has you covered with step-by-step instructions from start to finish, with tutorial photos to help you pass the more intricate sections. The clear instructions presented in an easy-to-follow layout leave absolutely no guesswork for you. Once the yoke is done, the level of concentration required drops and you’ll be able to work this up while binging your favorite show!

The sizing for this pattern is based on the standard Craft Yarn Council (CYC) measurements.

This top is designed to be worn with no more than 5 cm (2″) of positive ease around the bust.

Measure around the fullest part of your bust and add up to 5 cm (2″) to this measurement, depending on your desired amount of positive ease, and choose a size that is closest to this number. If you’re in between sizes, size down.

All my garment patterns are #sizeinclusive up to at least a 60” bust circumference.
