This crochet pattern is in English.

The Jen Camisole is a classic spring and summer tank top and is great for experienced crocheters looking for a challenge. The combination of moss stitch with a light fingering weight yarn creates a fabric-like drape that is oftentimes hard to get with crochet. Even though it has a very simple and classic silhouette, it’s the finishing I-cord edge that makes this an advanced project in my opinion. Often a technique associated with knitting, the finishing I-cord edge is crocheted with the aid of a needle and gives the final product a clean and professional look. Overall, this camisole has become one of my summer staples and I can’t wait for you to make yours! This purchase also includes a tester look book to stir inspiration and so that you can see all the different versions of this design. You can also see them on my Instagram account @cosmaudi.
