When the weather gets warmer, it changes what we craft. If it's too hot to crochet with wool, then we can switch to cotton or linen for more comfortable crafting. If it's too warm to make blankets, then we switch to smaller projects that don't bury us in their cozy weight. It's even more of a bonus if we can make something that we can use immediately. These 11 crochet tank tops patterns are perfect for warm weather crafting. Plus, you can wear them as soon as you've woven in your ends.

A good crochet tank top pattern has a fairly simple design but also incorporates a special detail. That's what makes it more than just a basic shirt.
