Still Tank Top

Designed to sit comfortably without clinging, the Still Tank Top is a versatile piece that slips easily into everyday wardrobes. Wear it layered over a shirt for smart office days, over a dress for relaxed summer barbecues, or on its own with shorts or trousers when the weather warms up. The breathable fabric adds to the easy, comfortable feel. Shown here in a calm green shade, it brings to mind a lazy Sunday, picnicking in a grassy spot by the river.

Crocheted using Scheepjes Cotton Create DK, the yarn’s smooth handle and relaxed drape support the stitch pattern beautifully. The repeating shell stitch creates a gentle rhythm across the fabric, adding texture while keeping the overall look clean and balanced. The top is worked in separate front and back panels from the bottom up, with shaping at the armholes and neckline for a comfortable fit. Edging around the hem, armholes and neck provides a neat finish without adding bulk.

The Still Tank Top pattern includes full written instructions, a crochet stitch chart and a measurement table for five sizes from S to XXL. It is part of Scheepjes Pattern Portfolio Volume 07: Cotton Create, which brings together six projects across knitting, crochet and macramé. The booklet is available in print from Scheepjes retailers and as a digital download on Ravelry, in English and Dutch.
