Yarn- Queensland coastal cotton ocean mist Sunrise Beach

Note: If you cannot find this yarn you can use any cotton yarn you like.

Cup (Make 2)

Sts needed to count for each cup: Small: 31sts, Med: 37sts, Large: 43sts.

Row 1: 1 sc in each ch.

Row 2: sc 2together, 1 sc in each st till last 2 st’s, sc 2together.

Repeat rows 1-2 until you have 1 sc left.

Note: I didn't have enough coastal yarn, so I used Paint Box cotton, 2 strand together. Blood Orange, Red Wine, and White

 

Now that we have our 2 cups we will sc crochet across the bottom connecting to 2 cups together.

Continue to work back and forth on the bottom until front part of tank top is as long as you want.

 

Now we need to make the back part of this tank top. Start by making sure you have the same st’s as the front tank top. Continue to sc making the back as long as you need.

You can stop here and sew the side together if you want your back out, but I do not so I will dec or sc 2 together to make the back look like the cups.

Now we will make the straps, start by sc 8 and go back and forth until strap is as long as you need.

If you can sc the side s together and your tank top fits comfortably then do so but if not you will need to make a strip to go along the side, I ch 11 and ac back and forth until strip was as long as I needed. 

The tank top is all done and if you like what you have you can enjoy it. For my tank top it was not long enough so I will be making the bottom longer and sewing up the middle a little.
