The Merlot Hour Tank

The Merlot Hour Tank is worked side-to-side in one panel that is crocheted together at meeting points. We start under the arm, go up to the shoulder, do some neckline shaping, then down to the opposite under arm, and repeat the process for the back. There is an option to add shells around the armhole and bottom hem, or even on the neckline if you like! I strongly encourage you to experiment with this pattern. This pattern is made-to-measure, meaning there are no sizing guidelines so it can fit right to your body shape. This also means that crochet hook, yarn weight, and gauge don’t matter too much as well. If you like to see the definition of the stitches, thenI recommend you use a DK, sport or fingering weight yarn, but if you use a heavier yarn like aran or bulky, the shells may look a little bulky. That to say, just keep These things in mind when picking out the type of yarn you use.
