The Nerea Tank Top is an elegant and original design, worked with a highly elastic ribbed crochet fabric that gently adapts to the body. Its sophisticated yet versatile style makes it suitable for both casual summer looks and more refined outfits.

This crochet tank top pattern is written row by row for each size (XS–2XL) and is accompanied by detailed diagrams and a 40-minute video tutorial, making it easier to follow every step — from the ribbing technique to the cable stitches on the front panel.

Available in A4 and US Letter format, ready to print at home.

Skill Level:

Intermediate. All techniques used (Slip Stitch, Yarn Over Slip Stitch – BLO, short rows, and cable rings) are explained in the pattern and demonstrated in the video.
