Why You Will Love the Maya Striped Tank
This crochet tank top is a perfect piece to create a stylish layered look. Style it with an elegant shirt and go dressed like this to work or a college lecture. It has comfortable, wide straps, a simple square neck front, and a gorgeous two-colored striped pattern. Its cropped cut and broad ribbing at the bottom, on the other hand, make it look very stylish.
Who This Pattern Is Designed For
To work the Maya Striped Tank crochet pattern, you need to be familiar with the basics. Its body is worked mostly with chain stitches and single crochets using yarn in two shades, making it an accessible project for beginners ready to do some colorwork.
The garment also features a clean hem ribbing that you will crochet with the linen stitch, so if you haven’t used it before, it’s a perfect chance to master it.
Everything You’ll Need to Start
For the best results, craft this crochet crop top using medium-weight yarn and two different crochet hook sizes (4.5 mm and 6.5 mm). Follow the warm color palette inspired by fall, or go for the black shade instead of orange if you want to go full classic.
The sample seen in the photos was created with Lion Brand LB Collection Chainette. It’s a luxurious blend of baby alpaca, wool, and polyamide that ensures incredible softness and a nice stretch.
