Sea Glass Tank

**DESCRIPTION** The **Sea Glass Tank i**s another design in my **Scrappy Collection**. The patterns in this Collection have been specifically designed to use up all those part balls that are in your stash. This pattern has a very **unique construction** method that makes it fun to make. it uses two **3/4 grannies** joined together along the center front and center back to make the tank. The unworked 4th side of the granny becomes the armhole. A granny strip is added to the center front for a decorative detail and the back closure has the option of being joined with a granny stitch or being laced-up corset style. The tank can be made **cropped or extra rows** can be added to the bottom to achieve your preferred length as was done for my version of this pattern. **DIFFICULTY LEVEL:** Intermediate **SIZE INCLUSIVE** XS - 5XL. **MATERIALS** Yarn: #4 medium weight, Carron Cotton Cakes - 520 yd/ 8.8 oz - 485 m/250 g (60 % cotton / 40% acrylic) Although this yarn is listed as #4 in my opinion it is slightly lighter (13 wpi). Remnants of 2 colours, Beach View and Beachglass were used. The cake was deconstructed and the colours were placed as per my preference and based on the quantities. Smaller amounts were used at the beginning for the shorter rounds and larger amounts for saved for the end for the larger rounds. Quantity: Amount varies depending upon size. Approx 500 yd for XS up to 1,000 yd for the 5XL Hook: 5mm Tapestry needle Measuring Tape Scissors **STITCHES** Chain Single Crochet Double Crochet Spike Stitch (Instructions for all stitches and techniques are given in the pattern) **TECHNIQUES** Granny square >Here’s some of the things testers said about this pattern: > >* I was very satisfied with the finished item. >* It is a great top for summer and day trips. >* I especially liked the granny strip going down the middle. >* It was really fun to see how a different layout could create a top. >* I really liked the slit at the back. >* I liked how it (pattern) tested my current knowledge and also like to learn something new. >* I like how the pattern, while using simple stitches, looks more >advanced than it is. >* I iove how you split the yarn and used the different colours. **SPECIAL NOTES** I love to see your interpretations of my designs, so feel free to use the following social media hashtags: #seaglasstank #yarnsaboutyarn Crocheters may sell the final project with credit to the design given to: Yarns About Yarn by Charlotte Whaley **STAY IN TOUCH** For new designs, free patterns, updates, sneak peeks and behind the scene stories follow: Website: www.yarnsaboutyarn.com Instagram: yarnsaboutyarn Facebook: yarnsaboutyarn SHARE YOUR WORK You are encouraged to share your version of this pattern as a project on Ravelry and on social media using: #seaglasstank and tag me at @yarnsaboutyarn Until next time, Peace and blue skies.
