Verona Top

The Verona Crochet Tank Top is a design focused on the balance between structure and drape. This Modern Crochet PDF explores a sideways construction to create a comfortable, ribbed texture that fits the body naturally. I have designed this piece to be versatile; it works as a Summer Crochet Tee on its own or as a Crochet Tank Pattern for layering. The most characteristic detail is the cable reinforcement on the straps, which provides both a beautiful visual accent and extra stability to the garment. The top is worked in two separate panels (front and back) starting from the sides. This diagonal approach allows for a gentle shaping of the underarm and neckline. Once the center section is completed, the second half is worked symmetrically. To finish, the pieces are joined with a crochet seam, and a final round of slip stitches is added to refine the edges and adjust the fit of the armholes. Skill Level: Intermediate. Yarn Requirements (for sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL): This pattern is optimized for Fingering weight yarn (approx. 14 wpi). Option 1 (100% Cotton): Durable Cotton 8 (50g/150m). You will need approx: 180 / 190 / 228 / 285 / 325 / 370 g. Option 2 (Cotton Blend): Alliance Fine from Mayflower (50g/160m). You will need approx: 130 / 140 / 170 / 210 / 230 / 270 g. Recommendation: I suggest having an extra 10-15% of yarn on hand to account for personal tension variations or small adjustments during the process.
