White granny tank top

This is something I did a few years ago, while I was looking for the perfect crocheted summer top.

It's a pattern from Phildar Spécial Crochet printemps-été 1999 “aux couleurs de l’été",
which is a very good pattern catalogue, loaded with elegant and colourful little things, mainly tops and shirts.

Yarn : I think it's a bland of cotton and acrylic, it's softly shiny; 6 skeins says the pattern, I don't remember how much of it I used either. I would say 250g.

Crochet hook crochet n°3, back in those days I would use those with a plastic handle, I broke most of them because I used to crochet too tight.

Design : simple but effective.
48 squares and 4 half squares. Each square is 6cm wide, they are joined while crocheting (not afterwards). The back has 4 squares less than the front, the half squares go under the arms, straps and border are made of single crochet.

I sometimes wear it as a vest over a pale shirt, here I wear a tiny bra under it, so tiny it's not even my size, but it's the only one I have with straps thin enough not to get noticed (I swear you, all the fuss about being big breasted, it's all overrated... really.).
