2. Row 1 – Double Crochet Across:
   • Yarn over, insert the hook into the second chain from the hook. Yarn over again, pull through (3 loops on the hook).
   • Yarn over, pull through 2 loops. Yarn over again, pull through the remaining 2 loops to finish the double crochet (dc).
   • Repeat dc in each stitch across the row until the end.
3. Row 2 – Start Increasing Width:
   • Chain 2 and turn your work.
   • Make an increase by doing 2 dc into the first stitch.
   • Continue doing dc across the row until the last stitch. Make another increase (2 dc in the last stitch).
4. Rows 3–5:
   • Repeat Row 2 by increasing in the first and last stitches of each row. This gradual increase will widen the top.

Mesh Section

5. Row 6 – Mesh Double Crochet:
   • Chain 3 and turn your work.
   • Dc into the first stitch, then chain 1 and skip one stitch.
   • Dc into the next stitch, chain 1, and repeat skipping stitches till the end of the row.

   • Repeat the mesh pattern from Row 6 (dc, ch 1, skip one stitch).
8. Row 21:
   • Return to normal dc rows with increases at the beginning and end.

Edging and Straps

1. Single Crochet Edges:
   • Chain 1 to start the edges. Do single crochet (sc) across the edges evenly.
2. Straps:
   • At the corner, chain 145 (adjust length for personal fit) to create the straps.
   • Work sc along the length of the strap.
3. Repeat:
   • Continue sc across the top edge of the tank top and chain another strap at the opposite corner.
   • Work sc along the second strap and finish sc across the remaining edge of the top.

Bottom Wavy Edge

1. Create Waves:
   • Skip one stitch and do 5 dc into the next stitch.
   • Skip another stitch and do sc into the following stitch.
   • Repeat this sequence (skip, 5 dc, skip, sc) to create wavy edges along the bottom of the top.
2. Finish:
   • Fasten off the yarn at the end and weave in all loose ends using the tapestry needle.
