Lottie Tank
The Lottie Tank is a crocheted tank made from a cotton yarn, perfect for a summer day. This simple design features tie shoulders and a double V neckline and back. There are instructions for long or short ties for the ability to make a bow, or just make a small knot. The ties can be knotted at different heights for a higher or lower neckline. There are instructions in the pattern to customize the length of the tank itself for your favorite fit.
CONSTRUCTION
—
The Lottie Tank is worked flat from side to side, increasing and decreasing throughout. The entire tank is made in just 2 panels that are crocheted together at the end with a slip stitch down the center front and center back. The tie straps are made from chaining an extra number of stitches and working a longer piece for a time before decreasing again.
