Toddler Tank Top

by Lorene on July 15, 2013

Simple Design with Ultra Versatility

Toddler Tank Top Free Crochet Pattern

I designed this simple but adorable toddler tank top for my little girl. It is super versatile and so much can be done to

modify the finished look. Mine features the optional scalloped capped sleeves and flower embellishment.

You can make this using any yarn though it will affect sizing. This version is made with Simply Soft and fits my 28mo

(28lb) toddler perfectly. If I can get a picture of here sitting still wearing it I will post it.

I will be making this design in larger patterns as well.

Finished Size:The finished size of my tank is 10″ long from chest to bottom (excluding arms) Chest is 8″ wide. Bottom of shirt is 8

1/2″ wide

Washing Instructions:

I really do not like the way Simply Soft looks after a machine washing/drying.

I recommend hand washing in a gentle detergent and lying flat to dry.

Cost of Materials:

$2.00One skein makes 2 tanks with left overs

Suggested Retail Price:$25-35

Notes:You can make the optional embellishments (sleeves and flower) with the same color of leave them off completely. You

can easily add sleeves to this pattern to make a short or long sleeve sweater or add a color to give it a different look.
