Diamond Crochet Tank Top Pattern

Sharing is caring!

The Shine Like A Diamond Crochet Tank Top has quickly become one of my favorite go-to pieces in my crochet summer wardrobe. I love that I can maintain comfort but look good because let's be honest, no one wants to walk around all day being uncomfortable. This crochet top is made with a lightweight cotton yarn making it the perfect tank top to beat the heat of the summer months. A couple more of my favorite crochet projects are the Easy Beginner Summer Crochet Tank Top or the Long Summer Crochet Duster Free Pattern.

The crochet filet diamond pattern allows just enough peak through to add a mature look with the perfect amount of whimsy. After you make your first one, I know you are going to want to make one in all the colors, or check out a similar filet top like the Honeycomb Crochet Tank Top Pattern.

The Shine Like A Diamond Crochet Tank Top is so versatile, you can dress it down or dress it up easily with your bottom and accessory choices. For instance, I would pair the Shine Like A Diamond Tank Top with a fun flare skirt with flip-flops and a long necklace for the perfect outfit for a summer BBQ. For a classic look, I would pair the Shine Like A Diamond Crochet Tank Top with nice pair of capris with a wedge heel and a cardigan.

Important Pattern Notes

The Shine Like A Diamond Top 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.

Sizes are written as Extra Small (Small, Medium, Large) (1X, 2X, 3X) and this is a fitted garment, the bust sizes are the actual measurements.

As an alternative strap, a crochet i-cord can be used.

When the pattern says dc 3, this means to double crochet in the next 3 sts.

Special Stitches:
Stacked single crochet (stsc): this is crocheted 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, a dc3tog is used as a decrease on each edge when shaping the top. The method used for this incorporates the stacked single crochet.

Fasten off.

For the second side, have the RS facing and count in 89 sts from the opposite side and attach the yarn, then repeat the instructions above.

Diamond Crochet Tank Top Edging

With the RS facing, attach the yarn on the front at the first decreasing row, loosely sl st around all the edges without causing any puckering, join to the first st with a sl st. Do not fasten off.

Tips:
Chain 1 on the corners.
Sl st 3 sts per 2 rows along the row edges.
St st 2 sts per row along the decreased edges.
Work in the blo of top and bottom st edges.

First Front Trim

Row 1: Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch here and for the rest of the pattern), working in the blo sc down the front of the opening, turn.

Row 2: Ch 1, sc in each front st across, turn.

Row 3: Ch 1, in the flo sl st in each front st across, fasten off.

Second Front Trim & Button Holes

Row 1: With the RS facing, use stitch markers to mark the button holes evenly spaced across the front. Each buttonhole will be a ch 2 space.

Join the yarn to the bottom left corner and ch 1, working in the blo sc up the front of the opening, *sc to marker, ch 2, skip 2*; repeat from * to * across, turn.

Row 2: Ch 1, sc in each front st and ch st across, turn.

Row 3: Ch 1, in the flo sl st in each front st across, fasten off.

Crochet Tank Top Straps

There are three stitches at the top front of the tank where we will start the straps.

Row 1: Insert your hook into the first st, yo and pull up a loop, (insert your hook into the next stitch, yo and pull up a loop) twice. Yo and pull through one loop on the hook, (yo and pull through two loops on the hook) twice.

Repeat Row 1 until the strap is the desired length, then fasten off and stitch to the back of the tank. It helps to try it on and pin the placement for the best fit.

For the sample shown, 60 rows were created for the straps.

Diamond Crochet Tank Top Bottom Ribbing

Row 1: Ch 6, sc in the second chain from hook and across to the bottom of the tank, sl st 2 sts along the edge (these do not count as sts), turn. 5 sts

across, sl st 2 sts along the bottom edge, turn.

Repeats: Repeat Rows 2-3 around the bottom of the tank, fasten off.

Finishing The Diamond Crochet Tank Top

Fasten off and weave in all ends.

Using a sewing needle and thread, stitch the buttons to the first side of the tank lining up with the buttonhole on the opposite side.
