The Tulip crochet tank top is a ribbed number that will become a wardrobe staple for the summer months or be perfect to layer with during winter. The ribbed fabric and the negative ease in the design will shape your body, while the scalloped hem adds a touch of cuteness. The tank is made sideways in one single piece and the pattern includes written instruction, a chart and progress tables to help you keep track of all of the changes throughout.
