Hello everyone ✨
A beautiful Monday to you. It has been a very eventful past week for me but I'm glad I was able to stay afloat.
I've had to wear so many formal outfits lately and honestly, I'm gradually running out of formal outfits to wear. Since I'm more comfortable in suit pants, I decided to make a variety of inner wears to go with my suit pants.
The idea to start making these tops came out of the blue. This is why I'd always be grateful for the mind I have. Killing two to three birds while making crochet outfits is always my specialty so I decided to do the same with this project. The idea was to make a three coloured tank top.
Recently, I've admired dresses that have the same colour but different shades so I opted to try that out for one half of the tank top and for the other half, I decided to make it using plain black.
I can already see the versatility of this top. On days that I need a black tank top, I've got it. Also, on days when I need different shades of yellow, I've got it. You can only imagine how much I smiled throughout this whole project.
For the project, I used a generous amount of double crochet stitches with a 4.5mm hook. If you look closely, you'd notice the change in stitches at the top and the buttom parts of the tank top. I used single crochet stitches for the top and bottom parts. This is to ensure that the tank top fits tightly on the top and bottom parts.
While still at this project, the thought of making a project while changing hook sizes came to mind. How would a project look if I used a different stitch and a different hook for one part and a different one for the other part. I'm curious.
This tank top pretty much followed a single patter. I made twenty rows double crochet stitches for the front and the same number for the back. After making all the rows, I joined the flat piece, turning it into a round piece and I was pretty much done with the bodice.
Making the hand or straps was the next part. I made two rows of double Crochet stitches for each part. The straps are pretty much additions as the bodices fits perfectly without the straps.
With that, I was done with one addition to my closet. I can't wait to wear this with a a pair of suit pants and a relatively light jacket, @tengolotodo, what do you think?. As the dry and cold season is fast approaching (winter), I think this amazing addition to my closet. What do you think though?
Do you like what I did with the colours? What about the stitches used? I would totally love to hear your views on this.
Until next time, have a splendiferous Monday
