Crochet tank top "Stella"
Crochet this nice summer tank top with EKO Nano.
In this tutorial we teach you how to crochet the tank top Stella in our popular yarn EKO Nano Tube yarn. We go through row by row and the techniques which will be used. If you want to increase or decrease the size of the top, you adjust by the number of loops in the chain you crochet in the first step. The tank top Stella is completely beginner-friendly and you can vary colors and techniques just how you want to get your very unique summer top.
You need EKO Nano tube yarn and a crochet hook 6 mm.
Yarn consumption: approx. 340 g för the size om the picture. It depends on how tight you crochet and the size that you crochet.
This is what you need:
Here's how to do it
In this example, the orange stripes are just a few rounds, so cut the orange yarn after each round. Depending on how many colours you use, it might be better to cut the yarn after each colour change. You can decide yourself whether it is better to just let all the yarn run on the back without cutting them off between the rounds, or whether it is better to cut and fasten them off. You can vary the look and texture of the top by varying how you “pick up” the stitch from the previous lap. In the instructions, it has been crocheted in the back loop of the stitch. Hope you like this beautiful summer tank! /Viktoria

Start by making a slip knot crochet a chain. The chain forms the upper edge of the linen, i.e. it should be the same length as the bust measure of the finished garment. The example in the picture (the linen in the video is not the same as the pictures) is crocheted with 63 stitches and Viktoria has 90cm around the bust.
One way you can do a slip knot is to wrap the yarn around your index and middle finger and then pull the yarn up so that the loop locks when you tighten.
Adjust the size of the loop around your crochet hook. Now we will start crocheting the chain, use the crochet hook and pick up the yarn with the end that comes from the yarn roll (you temporarily have 2 loops on the crochet hook) and pull through so that a loop is formed (first loop). Do this until you have as many loops as you want for your size.
Round 1: Close the chain to make it a ring by crocheting a slip stitch in the first loop in the chain. Go down in the loop and pick up the yarn. Pull through a loops at the same time.
Row 2, yellow yarn:
Start the round witha chain. Pick up yarn and pull it through the loop that you have on the crochet hook. Crochet a single crochet into each stitch on the chain. You crochet a single stitch by putting the crochet needle through the stitch, pick up and pull the yarn through to form another loop on the crochet hook. Pick up the yarn again and pull it through the bow loops that you have on the crochet hook.
Finish the round with a slip stitch in the chain that you started the round with. Henceforth, all the rounds consisting of single crochet begin with an chain and end with a slip stitch in the first chain.
Row 3, yellow yarn:
Start with a chain just like we did on round 2. Crochet a half-double crochet in back loop only in each stitch.
Look at a stitch, they consist of two lines. The line closest to you is the front loop only. The line farthest from you is the back loop only. In this turn, you only go down into it back loop only.
You crochet half double crochet (in the back loop only). A half double crochet is crocheted by picking up yarn on the crochet hook and then going down it into the stitch from the previous row. Pick up and pull through the yarn, you have 3 loops on the crochet hook. Pick up the yarn on the crochet hook again and pull it through all three loops that you have on the crochet hook.
Finish the round with the slip stitch in the chain that you started the round with. Henceforth, all the rounds consisting of half double crochet are started with a chain and end with a slip stitch in the chain.
Round 4: Switch to purple yarn. Crochet half double crochet in the back loop only. Finish with a slip stitch in the chain as we did at the beginning.
Round 5- 7: Switch to yellow yarn on round 5. Crochet half double crochet in the back loop only. Finish with a slip stitch in the chain as we did at the beginning.
Round 8: Switch to orange yarn. Crochet a single crochet into each stitch in the back loop only. Finish with a slip stitch in the chain as we did at the beginning.
Round 9: Change to yellow yarn. Crochet half double crochet in the back loop only. Finish with a slip stitch in the chain as we did at the beginning.
Round 10-12: Switch to purple yarn. Crochet half double crochet in the back loop only. Finish with a slip stitch in the chain as we did at the beginning.
Round 13: Change to yellow yarn. Crochet half double crochet in the back loop only. Finish with a slip stitch in the chain as we did at the beginning.
Round 14: Switch to purple yarn. Crochet a single crochet into each stitch in the back loop only. Finish with a slip stitch in the chain as we did at the beginning.
Round 15: Switch to orange yarn. Crochet half double crochet in the back loop only. Finish with a slip stitch in the chain as we did at the beginning.
Round 16: Switch to purple. Crochet one double crochet into each stitch. Start the round with chain two. Wrap the yarn one round around the crochet hook and go down the back loop only into the stitch from the previous row. Pick up and pull the yarn through so you have 3 loops on the crochet hook. Pick up the yarn again and pull it through the first two loops of the crochet hook, two loops left. Pick up the yarn on the crochet hook again and pull it through both loops that you have left on the crochet hook. Repeat until you are back at the start. Finish the round with a slip stitch in the second chain. Henceforth, all the rounds consisting of double crochet, start with chain two at the begin and end with a slip stitch in the second chain.
Round 17: Change to yellow yarn. Crochet double crochet in each space between the double crochets. Finish with a slip stitch in the second chain.
Round 18: Switch to purple yarn. Crochet a double crochet in every other gap. Start by chaining 4 and then crochet in a double crochet in the second gap. Then chain 2 before each double crochet, skipping a gap. Finish with a slip stitch in the second chain.
Round 19: Wavy edge in purple. Start with a chain stitch: in each gap between the double crochet of the previous row, crochet a single crochet, two double crochet, a single crochet. All in the same hole. Repeat the round and finish with a slip stitch, then cut purple then that yarn.
Round 20: Change to yellow. Crochet a single crochet in the “valley” (between the last single crochet and the first single crochet) between the “groups” of the wavy edge. Then chain three and one single crochet in the next “valley”. Repeat the round, finish with a slip stitch and cut the yarn.
Hide the yarn ends by tying them around a stitch on the inside top and then weave them in among the stitches.
Finish by crocheting a chain (as we did at the very beginning, in orange yarn, and then attach in the middle of the front of the top to be able to tie it around the neck (see video).
