Favorite Crochet Tank Patterns for Summer

---

It’s official, summer is here . . . and I am just wildly unprepared for it. My closet is lined with sweaters, and you can tell at a glance that my wardrobe isn’t necessarily “summer-friendly.” Luckily, there is no time better than the present for crafting, and my collection of must-make summer projects keeps growing and growing. So, it is time to start something! It’s the perfect time to start a quick-to-crochet crochet tank pattern.

Here are a few favorites to inspire you.

Daisy Tank Top

What’s more summery than flowers? The Daisy Tank Top, designed by Natasha Robarge, is a must for warmer days. It’s perfect to throw on over a swimsuit or another top for a cute, layered effect. A daisy motif decorates the lace pattern and the scalloped hem gives this tank a relaxed feel.

Basic Tank

Don’t be fooled by the name; this top is anything but basic thanks to its customizable features. The Basic Tank, created by Sara Dudek, is worked with mercerized cotton crochet thread, which is perfect for summer projects. When making your own version of this tank pattern, place the buttons on the front or the back, change up the shape of the neckline, add embroidery, or adjust the length. The possibilities are endless!

Vintage Pink Tank

Flowy tops are ideal for summer weather. This time of year, the airiness of a shirt is important. The Vintage Pink Tank by Lana Jois features diagonal lines of eyelets and slits in the sides to create interest and allow airflow. This tank looks great by itself but also works for layering over simple blouses to add a touch of fun to an outfit.

Albergo Top

Versatility is always something I strive for in my closet. The Albergo Top, made by Alla Koval, can be worn with the keyhole detail (made by using brioche-like cable striping) in the front OR the back. The buttons on the sides of the crochet tank are not only stylish, but functional.

Botanic Summer Vest

I do not leave the house without high-waisted jeans and love creating layered looks. The Botanic Summer Vest by Aiqi Huang is an adorable pattern that you can wear with multiple styles of clothing. The top features a V-neck and ribbed waistband with lots of texture. I am already planning my outfits, pairing the tank with a short-sleeved blouse with puffy sleeves, or even a tee shirt.
