Blossom Stitch Summer Tank Crochet Pattern

August 13, 2019 · Rhelena · 6 Comments

As requested, the blossom stitch summer tank crochet pattern is now available in all sizes from XS to XL. Sleeves are also on the request list, but I’m not comfortable with sleeves yet, so that will have to wait until a later date.

A blossom stitch crochet top worked up in a self-striping yarn.

Originally the tank top was worked up in an acrylic yarn, but since I could no longer find the yarn in my local yarn shop, I reworked this up in a much nicer, cotton blend by Lion Brand Yarns called Shawl in a Ball. Not only is the cotton more suitable for the summer, but this yarn also has a beautiful drape that you will enjoy in any summer garment.

The yarn used here is a self-striping yarn, thus I omitted the edging for the neck, arms and bottom edging. Another variation seen here is that I omitted the side slit as well. However, I left the instructions for those who would prefer to add the edging and slits as originally posted. To see the original, and materials that were originally used, scroll down to the bottom.

Although shown in a comfortably snug fit, you can easily go up a few sizes to make it oversized. Thus it could be worn as a summer beach cover-up as well.

    Hello! I made this top and now I am interested in adding sleeves to it. I was wondering if you might know a sightly way to decrease this pattern stitch on rows as I go? I am crocheting the sleeves directly on the garment, and it looks good so far, but decreasing after the elbow to make a nice fit doesn’t look so good. I would appreciate any suggestions. I like the pattern a lot, but decided to adapt it to being a winter sweater, as it is too hot here to wear for the summer.

      Hi Lydia, I would have to play around with it to give you an exact answer. I’ll try and find some time this weekend, but most likely it won’t be till next week that I can get back to you. :)

    This looks beautiful!! I am looking forward to making it, also am interested in how you make sleeves for it, then I could make it a bit longer and wear it for the winter months, a win win, two shirts from one battery ;)

    Rhelena, I love this pattern! I changed the neckline to a v shape and it has turned out wonderfully! I’ll be posting pictures on Instagram as soon as I finish the edging. If you want I can send you the changes on the neckline so you can get them posted.
    The next ones that I make I’m going to add cap sleeves to.
    Thanks again!
