How to Crochet A Honeycomb Tank Top

Sharing is caring!

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. How to crochet 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.

When I was working on 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 to be warmed up a little. 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 states it's a 3 DK weight, but when I tested it against the fingering yarn, I found it worked up more like a 1 fingering.

Therefore, if you are doing a substitute yarn, such as that pretty yarn that's in your stash still waiting to be on your hooks, I suggest doing 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 = 3x3” [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 (123-51 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 is a go!

Notes:

- The honeycomb crochet tank top pattern is worked as one piece, from 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 is 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/

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 button holes along one side as below, slip stitch to join.
When working the section for button holes, work as follows:
Starting from body row as indicated in picture by the button hole bracket lines:
Ch 2, skip 2, sc 8; repeat from * to * along button edge creating 7 (7, 8, 8, 9, 9) button holes.
Note: The sample in image shows six button holes, however after creating a second top I determined one more button hole 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!

 

Amazing Crochet Tester Samples

As mentioned, I worked this tank top in two different colors because I loved it so much. However, you don't have to use the colors I've chosen as you learn how to honeycomb crochet stitch for this tank top pattern. Just look at all of the beautiful versions that my amazing testers came up with:

The Honeycomb Crochet Tank Top Pattern offers a stylish and versatile addition to any summer wardrobe. Its intricate honeycomb stitch design adds a touch of sophistication to casual outfits or beachwear.

Want to keep your summer garment looking great every season? To care properly for this crochet tank, hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent and laying it flat to dry. This will help maintain its shape and vibrant colors.
