Chevron Tunic Tank Crochet Pattern for Babies and Toddlers by Tricia Dodge of Cuddlepie Crochet

Chevron Tunic Tank

By Tricia Dodge @ Cuddlepie Crochet

Supplies:

H hook (5mm), I hook (5.5) I is only used in 0-3 month Two (or more) colors worsted weight (4) yarn. (l used Caron Simply Soft in Main Color (MC, white) and Contrast Color (CC, yellow). I like the lightness and drape of this yarn.) Tapestry needle to work in ends Stitch markers Optional- Two % inch buttons. (You can use larger if you use the dc option for larger button holes on the straps.)

Gauge Swatch:

15 dc = 4" (This is worked straight, not measured from the pattern stitching.) NOTE: Pattern is worked from bottom to top. When changing colors do NOT finish off. Drop your yarn and drag it up for the next row. This makes a LOT less ends to work in. When sewing on buttons you can sew them to the straps and top to secure permanently, or you may use the stitches as button holes. Do not work sts in your join at any point in this pattern. This video gives you a few tips if you need help not twisting your chain before joining. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ7PChNkYK0
