Lighthouse Tank Top Free Crochet Pattern

July 06, 2020/ Stitch And Hustle

Lighthouse Tank Top Free Crochet Pattern is inspired by my love of Lighthouses. The straps are a take on the ladders affixed to lighthouses for the keeper to have access. The shape and the flared bottom are inspired by the historic shape of lighthouses. I used Wool and The Gang Shiny Happy Cotton for the design because it is one of my favorite cottons and as a DK weight it is sturdy like a lighthouse. I hope you love making The Lighthouse Tank Top as much as I loved designing it.
