What You Need to Crochet Tank Top Patterns and More!
Crochet tank tops don’t usually require a ton of materials. You can create the cutest crocheted tops with just your hook and yarn. But it’s still good to know the essentials. Take a look:
- Crochet hooks – Make sure to have crochet hooks on hand. You can find the gauge you need listed in the ‘materials’ section of prayer shawl crochet patterns.
- Yarn – Make sure to check the pattern to see what yarn weight to use. Each pattern should list a recommended brand or weight in the “suggested yarn” section of the crochet pattern you’re following!
Pro tip: plant fibers are naturally cool while animal fibers keep things cozy. If you’re not sure which yarn to use, go with the same fiber type as the pattern calls for so that your finished project looks like the photo! - Scissors – A pair of scissors is another important tool that you will use for all of your crochet projects. You’ll need them to cut the yarn and trim any leftover yarn tails when you’re done!
- Stitch markers – You might need stitch markers to keep track of where you are if you’re following a stitch pattern. We recommend “removable” or “locking” style stitch markers for crochet projects. If you don’t have stitch markers, you can use a strand of scrap yarn—preferably in a different color so it’s easy to see.
- Yarn/darning needle – You will need a yarn needle or darning needle to sew in the loose ends.
- Blocking Mats and Blocking Wires – these optional yet helpful tools give crocheted textiles a polished and professional-looking finish. Blocking mats make it easy to pin a project in a specific shape while drying. Blocking wires can be threaded through the edge stitches and create super straight edges. Read to the end for special blocking tips and tricks.
