How To Crochet Crochet Backless Tank Top

Materials Needed:

  • 100g of cotton yarn (Four Seasons blenders, 8 ply)
  • 4mm hook
  • Four stitch markers
  • Yarn needles
  • Scissors

Abbreviations:

  • Ch: Chain
  • HDC: Half Double Crochet
  • DC: Double Crochet
  • SC: Single Crochet
  • St(s): Stitch(es)
  • YO: Yarn Over

Pattern:

  1. Starting the Chain:
    • Make a slip knot.
    • Chain an even number that fits from one armpit to the other (the video example uses 70 chains).
  2. First Row (Half Double Crochet - HDC):
    • Chain two (counts as first HDC).
    • Skip the first two chains.
    • In the third chain, make a HDC: yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through all three loops.
    • Repeat HDC in each chain across the row.
  3. Second Row (Mesh Stitch - Double Crochet - DC):
    • Chain three (counts as first DC and chain space).
    • Skip the first gap.
    • Yarn over, insert into the next gap, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over, pull through two loops (DC).
    • Chain one, skip the next stitch, DC into the next stitch - repeat across the row.
  4. Third Row (HDC into gaps):
    • Chain two, turn work.
    • HDC into first space.
    • HDC into each subsequent gap and DC from the previous row.
    • Repeat until end of row.
  5. Increasing:
    • Fourth Row: Chain two, HDC in first stitch, 2 HDC in second stitch, HDC across, 2 HDC in the second-to-last stitch, HDC in the last stitch.
    • Fifth Row: Chain two, HDC in each stitch (no increases).
    • Sixth Row: Repeat increase pattern.
    • Continue alternating rows with and without increases until piece covers your chest. In the video example, a total of 12 rows are done (6 with increases, 6 regular HDC).
  6. Continuing without increases:
    • Work additional rows in HDC without increases until desired length is reached. The example adds 5 more rows, making a total of 19 rows.
  7. Mesh Stitch at the Bottom:
    • Chain three, turn work.
    • DC in the second stitch, chain one, skip a stitch, DC in the next stitch.
    • Repeat along the row.
    • Turn work, chain three, DC in each DC from previous row, chaining one and skipping spaces accordingly.
    • Repeat mesh rows until the desired length of the mesh section is achieved (the example makes 10 rows).
  8. Straps:
    • Place stitch markers where you want the straps to attach.
    • Make a slip knot, insert hook into the marked stitch.
    • Chain a desired length for the strap (the example uses 280 chains).
    • Single crochet (SC) back along the chain.
    • Attach the strap securely by slip stitching to the top.
    • Repeat for the other strap.
  9. Side Holes for Straps:
    • Connect yarn to the bottom side edge, SC evenly up the side.
    • Chain one, turn, and SC but create holes by chaining two and skipping two stitches at regular intervals (the example spaces holes by 12 SC).
    • Finish and repeat for the other side.
  10. Finishing:
    • Weave in all ends using a yarn needle.
    • Thread the straps through the side holes for criss-cross effect in the back.
  11. Trying On and Adjustments:
    • Try on the top and adjust the straps as needed, ensuring the criss-cross straps are snug but comfortable.

Notes:

  • Adjust stitch counts based on personal sizing requirements.
  • The straps should be long enough to comfortably tie at the back (or bring over the shoulders).
  • Be mindful of your tension to ensure a consistent stitch pattern and fit.
