Difficulty:

Category: Crocheting

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Casual, Traditional, Classic, Cute


Materials

Carons Naturally Spa and hooks H, I, J

What was your inspiration?

I wanted a comfortable summer top that was professional in appearance without the need for an underlayer. The Henley Tank Top was the result. Made of Caron Natrually Spa yarn it is very comfortable, nicely tailored and flattering yet very modest.

What are you most proud of?

This pattern is based on a hybrid of the recipe pattern that I spent about 3 years learning to write and make easy to follow and adjust for different sizes. I don't like complicated patterns to read. It's just too easy to loose track of what you are doing. This garment is practical with a beautiful drape and fit.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

The toughest part of doing this pattern is color changes and even that has been made very simple.
