This beautiful tank top is just right for hot days. It can be made in all sizes. Thanks to adjustable straps,
a good fit is ensured even after repeated washing. Whether with gradient yarn or in a solid color, it is wonderful to look at.

Materials needed:

• For women's size 36/38, I used approx. 900 m of 4-ply yarn (for larger sizes, plan for correspondingly more)
• Crochet hook to match the yarn (size 3 was used here)
• 4 buttons, 12 mm - 15 mm

Or how about this pretty summer top? With a little perseverance, you can also lengthen it into a dress. The bust circumference and length of the top are individually adjusted to the wearer, so larger sizes are of course possible too. You can also decide whether you want to wear it as a tank top or as a
halter top. There is also a
button placket at the back for the perfect fit.
