seeking summer top

[beachlady]

Does anyone have a Free pattern for a summer top, with then straps, I have seen one in magazine adds, but it is for knitting, I know it should be simple, but I really like to work off a pattern, and I also would like suggestion of what yarn to use, I live in florida so it must be lite weight.

I found a few links you might want to check out. The first link is not a free pattern but I think it is quite beautiful.

I was looking for something like this too. I just want to make a tank top out of worsted weight cotton.

I found this pattern from Lily

I totally know where you're coming from there! hehe. I'm attemping a cap-sleeved sweater from Crocheted Sweaters that I think will work okay with my uhhh chesty self. I think it could also be adjusted to a tank top pretty easily.

[not a free pattern obviously, but very cute.]

Actually, I've been trying to find one that is more appropriate and it is rather difficult.
There was a nice one in last month's CROCHET! magazine, more like a shell.

Oh, and I don't know if you have seen this one. Size given up to 38, but I think it's easy enough to change. Length can be increased easily. If I was to do it, I'd make the straps wider, works a lot better on "chestier" girls.

(I've done their sleeveless turtleneck pattern, it was easy to follow, and alter)

aww, this is cute. I would definitely need it MUCH longer I got a belly to hide. hehehehe I love this top though. I'm not confident in my abilities to alter something though. Someone can MAKE a pattern for a tank top that is crocheted. I'd LOVE that Especially if it were for the bigger girls. Hehehehe
