The Not Knit Tank top is a semi made-to-measure Tunisian crochet top. Constructed with fingering weight yarn and top-down with a vintage inspired double folded collar, the Not Knit Tank top is a timeless summer staple piece.

The pattern includes:

  • Five sizes for a double folded high-necked collar. Initial stitch counts are provided for the collar, and then there are instructions to tailor the fit for your bust size and desired ease.
  • Video tutorials for basic tunisian crochet stitches, tunisian crocheting in the round, and double folded collar help.
  • Color coded size instructions
  • Photos to help you along with trickier spots.

This pattern is suitable for intermediate Tunisian crocheters since the body is worked in the round; but this was the first time half of our testers tried Tunisian crochet in the round, so it’s definitely possible for beginners to try.

Materials needed:
- 4 mm 14 inch double ended Tunisian crochet hook OR
4 mm and 3.5 mm interchangeable Tunisian crochet hooks attached with wire
- Yarn amounts for sizes XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X, 4X):
Fingering Weight 1 Superwash Merino Wool || 410 meters / 100g
estimated 750 (860, 990, 1160, 1350, 1470, 1610, 1820, 1950) meters
