This crochet pattern is for a man’s size tank top, with loop ties at the side, and optional ties down the front and back. The body is made of dc and sc stitches, with side loops made of chain stitches. These are then linked together and secured, rather than tied.

I have provided a number of options in the pattern, including a single piece front and single piece back, or two-piece front and two-piece back. The only sewing needed is for the shoulder seams.

All stitch counts are in the pattern. You will receive instructions for five different sizes, Small, Medium, Large, X-L, and XX-Large. The pattern is colour coordinated for each size. The finished garment has already been adjusted for different lengths and neck size. With each purchase you receive one PDF containing all sizes. The instructions include lots of detail for stitch placement and a photographic guide for securing the loops.

I have listed this pattern as “intermediate” because of pattern techniques.

There is a lot of stretch in the finished item, so the sizing is only approximate. You are purchasing the .pdf pattern only, which includes full written instructions. You will receive five versions of the pattern, one for each size.

The Loop SIde Tank Top makes an excellent accessory for the Basic Jockstrap Pouch I have designed. Add both patterns to your basket for a discounted price.
