When it’s hot out, all I want to wear is light clothing that breathes, and the Honeycomb Tank Top Crochet Pattern is just the ticket. Crocheting a tank top is very simple with this pattern because we are crocheting it as one flat piece. While you’ll learn how to use a filet crochet technique to make the honeycomb crochet stitch for this tank top, I also have How to Crochet Honeycomb Stitch + Headband Pattern, or try the Modern Honeycomb Shawl for a great accessory.

Honeycomb Crochet Stitch Inspiration: Bees
Let’s take a moment to chat about the critical inspiration for this design…the bees.
While I was taking images for this design, I went out to my lemon tree to see if the bees were swarming. We have had some unusual weather this year, and the previous night had been a little cold.
The lemon tree has the perfect blooming branch for some images, and then I noticed a bumblebee still clinging to the flower, not moving.
I brought the branch into my office and began to photograph some in-progress pictures, but that little bee just kept swarming in my mind. Why did the bee stay on the branch? What happened?
By no means am I a bee expert to understand the society of bees so I was baffled.
After finishing the photos, I left the branch on my desk. And later came the surprise.
The bee was alive!!!
I guess he just needed a little warming up. I was so excited and also terrified of the angry flying bee in my office.
Of course, I quickly jumped into action when the bee landed on an object and bravely moved it back outside while he was still regaining some strength.
So basically, I rescued a bee. That’s the story we are going with, lol.
Supplies for the Crochet Tank Top
• Crochet Hook 2.75 mm (C), I highly recommend Furls Hook (affiliate link) or a Clover Crochet Hook (link below). I love both of these.
• Removable stitch markers if needed
• Yarn needle to weave in ends
• 7-13 buttons
Yarn Options:
Comfy Fingering, 75% Pima Cotton / 25% Acrylic, 218yds/50g
Stroll Fingering, 75% Fine Superwash Merino Wool, 25% Nylon, 231yds/50g
Yarn Notes
I designed this using Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek DK, which may not be available at this time. The yarn label says it’s a 3 DK weight, but when I tested it against the fingering yarn, it worked up more like a 1 fingering weight.
Therefore, if you are using a substitute yarn, such as the pretty yarn in your stash still waiting to be on your hooks, I suggest making a gauge swatch. The crochet tank top is a fitted item, so it’s crucial to get the stitch sizes and gauge just right. As long as you get the gauge correct, the pattern should work as intended.
Yardage:
- Small: 710 yards (650 m)
- Medium: 810 yards (740 m)
- Large: 980 yards (896 m)
- 1X: 1100 yards (1005 m)
- 2X: 1300 yards (1189 m)
- 3X: 1500 yards (1372 m)
Gauge:
20 double crochet stitches by 10 double crochet rows = 3×3” [7.6 cm]
Measurements:
- Small: 32-34” bust (81-87 cm)
- Medium: 36-38” bust (91-97 cm)
- Large: 40-42” bust (102-107 cm)
- 1X: 44-46” bust (112-117 cm)
- 2X: 48-50” bust (123-127 cm)
- 3X: 52-54” bust (131-137 cm)
Abbreviations:
- ch- Chain
- dc- Double Crochet
- dc2tog – Double Crochet Two Stitches Together
- dc3tog – Double Crochet Three Stitches Together
- RS- Right Side
- sl st- Slip Stitch
- sts- Stitches
- STSC- Stacked Single Crochet
- WS- Wrong Side
Skill Level:
• Easy/Advanced Beginner – This pattern uses basic crochet stitches and mostly the double crochet stitch, so even if you are a beginner, give it a go!
Notes:
– The honeycomb crochet tank top pattern is worked as one piece, from the bottom up, and in rows. If a longer length is desired, add one more repeat on the body portion. Trim is added, and at the same time, buttonholes are created for the front.
– A stacked single crochet is made at the beginning of each row instead of chaining. The stacked single crochet counts as a double crochet stitch. The same stitch is modified for the decreases. Replacing the beginning chain with this method creates cleaner lines along the garment. It is helpful to place a marker at the beginning of each row to mark the first stitch.
– Double crochet decreasing: for this pattern, the dc2tog and dc3tog are used as a decrease on each edge when shaping the top. The method used for this incorporates the stacked single crochet. Further instructions are here: https://brianakdesigns.com/stacked-single-crochet/
– Sizes are written as Small (Medium, Large, 1X, 2X, 3X)

About the Honeycomb Crochet Top
I enjoyed working this up so much that I made two! These are lightweight crochet tank tops designed for summer. Of course, you could also layer them over long-sleeves or under a jacket for all-weather wear. And if you love this top, you might also love the Shine Like A Diamond Crochet Tank Top or the Hexagon Cover-Up Crochet Pattern too!

What To Pair With The Honeycomb Crochet Top
If you are like me, even in the middle of summer I still need layers. I walk into a store that’s blasting the AC and it freezes me out. I love to have something like the Get Comfy Crochet Cardigan on hand to stay cozy.
We all need something to carry our stuff! For a light option try the Herringbone Crochet Clutch, and if you need more space the Nettleton Crochet Bag is a great option.

I enjoyed working up this summer crochet top so much that I made two! These are lightweight crochet tank tops designed for summer. Of course, you could also layer them over long-sleeves or under a jacket for all-weather wear. And if you love this top, you might also love the Shine Like A Diamond Crochet Tank Top or the Hexagon Cover-Up Crochet Pattern too!

Fasten off and weave in ends.
Size 3X Left Section
Skip 8 stitches to the left of the back section and attach yarn to the next stitch. Repeat 3 X Right Section.
Edges & Assembly
Edge Slip Stitches:
With the right side facing, attach yarn to the top of the left piece (far left arrow in image below) and loosely slip stitch around all edges, and in front of straps, and join to first stitch with a slip stitch.
Use approximately two stitches per row along the row edges, and one stitch on the top and bottom edges. Increase hook size if needed because you do not want anything to pucker or be too tight.
Buttonhole Stitches:
Working in the back loops only of the previous slip stitches, sc in each stitch around, working the buttonholes along one side as below, slip stitch to join.
When working the section for buttonholes, work as follows:
Starting from the body row as indicated in picture by the buttonhole bracket lines:
Ch 2, skip 2, sc 8; repeat from * to * along button edge creating 7 (7, 8, 8, 9, 9) buttonholes.
Note: The sample in the image shows six buttonholes; however, after creating a second top, I determined one more buttonhole would be nice, and that is reflected in the above instructions.
Straps:
With yarn needle, sew the straps to the back as shown. Attach buttons to opposite side of tank. Fasten off, weave in ends, and wear!

Well, That Was Fun! What’s Next?
Hi there! I just purchased this pattern on Ravelry and I am super pumped to start. The Ravelry listing says that there is a chart included, but I am not seeing it in the pattern pdf. Does it exist elsewhere? I am a visual person and I purposefully buy more patterns with charts because I find them so much easier. Thanks!
I apologize for that mistake. However, I might have a chart I can send to you. What size are you working on?
That would be so great! Medium. Thank you!
Love love love this pattern! I just bought it and am about to cast on, but I’m debating the size to make since I fall kind of in between the small and medium. Should there be much positive ease with this top?
Yay! This is a fitted item so there isn’t a lot of ease. Go with your bust size and after a few rows, you can wrap it around yourself to double-check and make sure it’s how you will like it.
Awesome, thanks so much for the quick reply! I just started on the small, so hopefully it works, or I’ll go up a size. Another quick question – am I supposed to end up with an extra chain st at the end of Row 1? I’ve gone through the whole row and make it to the last 17 sts with no problems, but I still have one extra st at the end I’m not sure what to do with. Thanks for your help!
Hi Brian, just bought this lovely pattern. I’ve started it and I have a question. Does the pattern get narrower at it goes up or is it a straight pattern- top to bottom? The reason is…I’ve completed round 3 and I feel the size is big, so wondering if I should reduce it. Looking forward to your reply. It’s an amazing pattern can’t wait to finish it!
It is straight so if you feel it will be too big around the bust either check gauge or go down a size. Can’t wait to see it1
Well that’s sad. The email said it was free.
So sorry for the link error on one of the parts of the e-mail, the free pattern for April first is found here: https://brianakdesigns.com/beginner-lace-crochet-poncho/
I just love your gray cat, he’s gorgeous!
I love
Hi Briana!
Is this supposed to be a free pattern or is it for purchase only? I see the supplies, guage and stitches used but not the pattern. It’s a beautiful pattern and I can’t wait to make it using my stash of Summer Nights yarn. Hopefully this yarn will work as I think it will make a beautiful Honeycomb crochet tank top. Thank you so much for the helpful links! Stay safe!
This is a paid pattern in any of the shops linked 🙂
Thank you! Such a beautiful pattern I had to buy it!
Your email about Nicki’s Homemade Crafts Hop Into Spring Blog Hop links to this page when I click the “Click here to get the Pattern”, rather than to the blog hop for your free poncho pattern. I suspect this is why Alysia asked whether it was free.
