    Scallop V-neck Tank Top - free crochet pattern

    The Seascape Scallop Tank uses light cotton yarn and simple stitches to create a relaxed summer top! Worked top down and in one piece, the length is customisable and there are no seams to sew together!

    If you enjoy crocheting easy and versatile summer tops, you’ll love the Sagebrush Tank Top, Forest Breeze Tee or Skylar Crop Top! And all of these free crochet top patterns have a video tutorial!

    This post may contain affiliate links, view our disclosure policy for details.

    Thank you to WeCrochet for providing the yarn for this free crochet tank top pattern! As always all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own 🙂

    The Seascape Tank Top is summer in a top! The breezy drape combined with the seashell scallop edging remind me of long beach days basking under the golden New Zealand sun! The top body portion is made entirely of single crochets, so it’s perfect for mindless crocheting while you listen to waves crashing on the beach, as a road trip project or while watching TV.

    The scallop stitch edge and tie straps add a feminine touch to the sleek silhouette, but there are also options for plain straight straps and you can easily leave off the scallops for a simple v-neck tank top!

    Design Inspiration

    Although I’m a fall girl at heart, summer tops might just be my favourite projects to design and crochet! The scallop stitch is one of my favourite crochet edging stitches (For more scallop stitch projects, check out the Forget-Me-Not Tee and Béatrice Sweater) and I’ve wanted a scallop v-neck camisole for ages so I decided to make my own 🙂

    Initially I wanted the straps to be very thin, like a satin camisole / singlet top but I quickly realised that I could create a dress with the same ‘base pattern’ and thin straps would never hold up with the weight of the skirt! (The dress version will be released next week! 🙂 Sign up to my newsletter, so you’ll be the first to know when the pattern releases!)

    Construction

    The Seascape Tank is worked from the top down and there is absolutely no sewing! (If you like top down seamless patterns you’ll love the Magnolia Top or Brooklyn Sweater!)

    First, we’ll crochet the straps, then a triangle is crocheted directly onto the straps. In total, we’ll have 4 crochet triangles and they’ll be joined together with crochet stitches (remember no sewing necessary! 🙂 ). The 4 triangles form the the v-neck portion of the camisole.

    The tank top is then worked in the round and you can extend the body to any length you want 🙂 Feel like a cropped tank top? Simply crochet fewer rounds! As we extend the top we’ll increase after every few rounds so the body of the tank top has a very loose and relaxed drape, that flares out slightly in a subtle trapeze shape.

    After you’ve reached your desired length, simply fasten off and we’ll crochet the edging. Slip stitches are worked down the straps (to help prevent them from stretching out) and then single crochets are worked along the v-neck portions of the tank top.

    If you love the modern and streamlined look you can leave the v-neck of the tank top as is or add the scallop edging to the camisole using double crochets.

    How to use stitch markers

    Throughout this pattern we’ll use stitch markers to help us organise the triangles and make the body portion of this top truly mindless! For a neatly finished look it’s crucial that we use stitch markers to indicate the right sides of the top so that all of our triangles match when we crochet them together.

    We’ll also use stitch markers on the sides of the body to indicate when and where we should increase. And if you’re adding the scallop edge the stitch markers will help you have a balanced and perfectly symmetrical scallop neckline.

    If you’ve never used stitch markers before don’t worry – they are really easy to use and throughout the pattern I indicate when and where you need them! You can also refer to the video tutorial (coming with the dress pattern next week!) to see where I place the stitch markers or refer to progress photos. And if you don’t have stitch markers no problem! Instead of stitch markers you can use safety pins or bobby pins 🙂

    Yarn

    The Seascape Scallop Tank Top uses WeCrochet Simply Cotton Organic Sport. This organic cotton yarn is a creamy vanilla shade with tiny flecks of brown (that aren’t noticeable in the final look).

    It’s super soft, light and airy - not stiff like many 100% cotton yarns and it has a squishy marshmallowy feel which makes it perfect for garments! Since it’s so soft it does fluff up a bit but the stitch definition is still incredibly clear.

    This yarn only comes in its natural unbleached, undyed shade which makes it a great yarn for hand-dying. Otherwise check out WeCrochet’s Shine Sport for a lovely, soft pima cotton that also has incredible drape!

    One thing to note is that I think Simply Cotton Organic Sport is quite a thick sport weight cotton yarn, very very close to a thin cotton DK (not quite a DK though). So, if substituting this yarn make sure that you are using a thick sport weight yarn and you might even be able to meet gauge with a thin DK. A normal sport weight cotton yarn will probably be too thin to match gauge and you’ll end up with loose, holey stitches!

    *Sample is a size small shown on a 5’3” model with a 32” bust.
    (If you are in between sizes, size down - size small is a bit large on me)

    *The sizing guide follows size XS(S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL). E.g. “Ch 71(79, 87, 95, 103, 111, 119) means Ch 71 for XS, Ch 79 for Small, Ch 87 for Medium, Ch 95 for Large, Ch 103 for XL, Ch 111 for 2XL and Ch 119 for 3XL.” If there is only one number, it applies to all sizes.

    *"SC 10" means SC into the next 10 stitches.

    *"2 SC" means place 2 SC into the same stitch.

    *The turning chain ch 1 does NOT count as a stitch, unless otherwise noted.

    *Total stitches are indicated between < >.This pattern uses US crochet terms.

      I am confused about sewing the tops of the straps together, I thought you tie the straps together! Where do you sew the tops of the straps together?

        Hi Enid, I think you might be reading the 'Straight Straps Assembly' Instructions! If you crocheted tie straps, scroll down to the 'Tie Straps Finishing' instructions 🙂

      What a lovely pattern! I accidentally forgot to mark the right side of the triangles. Is there a way I can tell? 😅

        Hi Hannah,

        You can see in the photos that after you fasten off, the strand of yarn should come from the right corner of each triangle. You can also tell which side is the right side by looking at the 'slope of the increases'. On the left triangles the the left corner of triangle should be more curved than the right corner of the left triangle. For the right triangles, the right corner of the triangle should curve up more than the left corner. This is also from the same view point of what you see the photos.

        I hope this helps,
        Grace

      Hello! I’m making my first crochet clothing project using your pattern and I’m super excited 😝 but I’m a bit confused on this part on the left triangle
      “ Repeat ROW 18 until ROW 22(24, 26, 28, 28, 30, 34).
      ”

      I don’t get what this means . Could you help me out? Thank you in advance!

        Sorry. I meant to say I don’t understand what this specific part means.

        Repeat ROW 18 until ROW 22(24, 26, 28, 28, 30, 34).

          Hi Melany,

          E.g. if you're making a size XS, you repeat the instructions from ROW 18 until you have 22 rows in total. I'd suggest googling 'how to read a crochet pattern' and there are a lot of step by step video tutorials on youtube!

          I hope this helps,

      Hi, I really want ot make this but I am not sure if I will be able to find the yarn you use in my area. Would I be bale to use a cotton blend yarn? Also, how are you able to tell if a cotton yarn is thicker or thinner? I have been looking at yarns online and they only say DK or Sport etc.

        Hi Maayan,

        I normally look at the thickness in store and if I'm purchasing online at the reviews on Ravelry or on yarnsub.com The yarn weight for this pattern is listed and you can use that as a starting point 🙂

      Hi!
      Thank you for the pattern! 🙂 I started yesterday the first triangle but I have a question?
      You say Repeat ROWS 5 – 8 until ROW 16.
      And you continue with row 9, then you say at row18 to repeat until 26 (for M)
      So...is it correct for size M having a total of rows= 8+8(2repetition from5to8)+10(rows9-18)+8=34?
      Thank you!
      Marta

        Hi Marta,

        Repeat Rows 5 - 8 until row 16 tells you the stitch patterns to follow and afterwards you have a row by row breakdown so that you know the total stitches you need at the end of each row. You don't repeat the rows again. So as noted in the pattern, you should have 26 rows in total for size M

          I have another question:when you says "turn" in body round instructions, what do you mean?

            Hi Marta,

            Turn means you need to rotate your work 180 degrees and start crocheting in the other direction. You can turn clock wise or counter counter clockwise just make sure it's always in the same direction.

            I hope this helps,
            Grace 🙂

      Hi Grace,

      When you say 10cm/4” square for the gauge, does it mean that these are the measurements of a sqaure swatch or do you need to make a bigger swatch and count the rows/stitches for the correct gauge? Thank you!

        Hi Lisa,

        Personally I like to crochet a bigger swatch (at least a 15cm square) and then measure the stitches in the centre. You'll get the most accurate results this way 🙂

          Grace,

          I have a similar question about the swatch. Since this yarn is cotton and will likely have some shrinkage, are you counting gauge without washing & drying the swatch or after washing & drying?

          Thanks!

      Hi Grace, I am so excited to be attempting this pattern but the back of my tank where the slip stitches align has a weird pucker and is pointed, not flat (like there are too many stitches?). I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong... any advice? Thank you!

        Hi Ivanna,

        The most likely cause is that you might've accidentally added an extra stitch right at the end of the round. That last 'gap' isn't actually a stitch, it's connected to the turning chain. Squeezing in the extra stitch is what causes the 'point'. Unfortunately, the only way to get rid of it is to frog your stitches and re-crochet them, sorry!

        I hope this helps,
        Grace 🙂

      Hi Grace, I am new at Crochet, and would like to try your pattern. If I am using 3.5mm hook instead of 3.75mm should I make it a size bigger to fit? I suppose I’m size S, so with 3.5 I’ll do pattern for M? *confused*
      Thank you 🙂

        Hi Dee,

        If your gauge (the number of stitches and rows per 10cm/4" square) doesn't match the pattern and your top won't turn out the same size as the suggested measurements. Since you're new to crocheting I'd highly recommend searching for 'crochet gauge' tutorials on YouTube to learn how to alter your gauge and 'golden loop' tutorials will teach you how to alter stitch height. Once you have the correct gauge you'll be able to follow the instructions as written. (This particular pattern is quite hard to alter as it has a 'v' neck and since you're a newer crocheter I wouldn't recommend just winging it 🙂 )

        I hope this helps,
        Grace
