Pattern Steps
Step 1: Foundation Chain
- Chain a length multiple of 25 + 3 (base chains) to accommodate flower repeats.
- Example: For 4 flowers wide, chain 103 chains (100 for the flowers + 3 extra).
- Adjust number of chains by increments of 25 to fit your desired width.
Step 2: Row 1 — Double Crochet Foundation
- Chain 2 (does NOT count as stitch).
- Skip 2 chains from hook, then make 1 double crochet (dc) in the 3rd chain from hook.
- Continue making 1 dc in each chain across the row until you reach the end (should have same number as your chain count minus 2).
- End with 103 dc stitches (or your chain count minus 2).
Step 3: Row 2 — Floral Pattern Base
- Chain 2 (does not count as dc), turn.
- Make 10 dc in first 10 dc stitches.
- Chain 2, skip 2 sts, then 4 dc in next 4 sts.
- Chain 2, skip 2 sts, then 17 dc in next 17 sts.
- Repeat the chain 2 + 4 dc + chain 2 + 17 dc block pattern across.
- Finish with 10 dc stitches at the end.
Step 4: Row 3 — Floral Formation
- Chain 2, turn.
- Make 7 dc in first 7 sts.
- Chain 2, skip 2 sts, make 2 dc under chain-2 space, then 1 dc in next dc.
- Chain 2, skip 2 sts, 2 dc under next chain-2 space, 1 dc in next dc.
- Continue this pattern repeating groups of 2 dc under chain spaces, dc in next stitches, separated by chain 2 and skip 2 sts.
- End with 7 dc stitches.
Step 5: Row 4 — Adding Texture and Triple Crochet
- Chain 2, turn.
- Make 4 dc stitches at start.
- Chain 2, skip 2 sts, 2 dc in chain-2 space, 1 dc in next dc.
- Chain 4, yarn over twice and make 1 triple crochet (tr) in middle of previous single crochet.
- Chain 4, 1 dc in 4th dc stitch, 2 dc in next chain-2 space, 1 dc in next dc.
- Repeat this pattern with chain 4 spaces and triple crochets for texture accent.
- End row with 4 dc stitches.
Step 6: Row 5 — Chain Loops and Single Crochet Accent
- Chain 2, turn.
- Make 1 dc, chain 2, 1 dc in end.
- Chain 6, then make 3 single crochet (sc) stitches spaced evenly over previous triple crochet and chain loops.
- Repeat chain 6 + 3 sc groups across row, interspersed with 1 dc, 2 dc under chain space, and 1 dc in dc.
- Finish with 1 dc stitch as row start.
Step 7: Rows 6 to 9 — Repeat Floral Motif
- Rows 6-9 repeat earlier flower shaping steps, incorporating chain loops, triple crochets, and double crochets to build the floral motif.
- Row 6 includes 6 or 8 chain loops with 5 single crochets accenting each loop.
- Rows 7-9 continue the flower formation and closing, adjusting the number of double crochets at edges as before (e.g., start/end 1, 4, 7 dc depending on row).
- Follow the established repetition to build height.
Step 8: Row 10 — Repeat Row 2
- To complete the floral row set, repeat the same instructions as Row 2: dc groups with chain 2 skips and flower spacing.
Step 9: Repeat Rows 3 to 10 for Length
- Repeat the series of Rows 3 to 10 for as many floral rows as desired to achieve tank top length.
- The tutorial example has 6 full floral repeats.
Step 10: Make Back Panel
- Repeat the entire pattern from Step 1 to 9 to create the back panel identical to front.
Step 11: Joining Panels at Shoulders and Sides
- Lay front and back panels together, right sides facing out.
- Join using single crochet (sc) stitches through corresponding floral stitches to join shoulders and sides.
- Leave openings for armholes and neck: armhole can be adjusted by skipping 2 or 3 flowers on each side during joining according to comfort preference.
Step 12: Finishing Armholes and Neckline
- Join carefully and symmetrically for neatness.
- Make sure to leave room for comfortable armholes and head passage.
- Sewing neatness greatly influences finished look.
Tutor’s Suggestions
- Adjust foundation chain multiples to fit your body measurements.
- Skip more or fewer flowers on joining to alter armhole size (tighter or loose fit).
- Try yarn doubling for thicker textures or keep single strand for light airy feel.
- Use stitch markers at join points for even seams.
- Test fit before finalizing side joins to ensure comfortable fit.
Uses
- Stylish casual tank perfect for summer or layering.
- Can be lengthened for tunic or dress use.
- Unique floral texture adds fashion-forward design to your wardrobe.
- Great project to improve stitch repetition and joining skills.
