Boho Tank Top Plus Size

Boho Tank Top Plus Size Crochet Pattern

What is Being Made

The Boho Tank Top Plus Size is a crocheted sleeveless garment designed for larger sizing, specifically accommodating plus-size measurements. This tank top features a distinctive boho aesthetic with a two-peak front design and a single-peak back silhouette, creating an elegant, layered visual effect. The pattern is sized to petit 2XL and is constructed using a side-to-side crochet method, beginning from the side seam and working toward the front and back panels.

Craft and Construction Method

Primary Craft: Crochet

This garment is entirely crocheted using a methodical construction technique that starts from the side of the shirt. Rather than working in traditional rounds from the bottom up, the designer has chosen a side-to-side approach, which allows for strategic shaping and the creation of the signature peak details at the front. This construction method requires careful attention to stitch placement and shaping increases and decreases to achieve the proper fit for plus-size measurements.

Stitches Used

• Single Crochet (sc): Forms the foundation and primary fabric of the tank top
• Double Crochet (dc): Creates texture and structure throughout the garment
• Chain (ch): Used for foundation chains and spacing elements
• Slip Stitch (ss): Joins rounds and creates seamless transitions
• Specialty Stitches: Corner1 (1 double crochet, chain 2, 1 double crochet in same stitch) and Corner2 (2 double crochet, chain 2, 2 double crochet in same stitch) create decorative corner details and help define the peak shaping
• Back Loop Only (bl): Selective stitching into back loops only adds textural variation

Materials and Specifications

Yarn: Medium 4ply yarn in worsted and aran weight, requiring approximately 600 yards total. The sample photographed uses Red Heart Hello Gorgeous in Sedona Key, a warm, earthy colorway that complements the boho aesthetic.

Hook: 5.5mm crochet hook

Additional Supplies: Scissors for finishing

Gauge and Sizing

Proper gauge is essential for achieving the correct fit in this plus-size garment. The pattern specifies: 6 rows of double crochet measured vertically equals 4 inches, and 11 stitches measured horizontally equals 4 inches. Checking gauge before beginning ensures the finished tank top will fit as designed.

Skill Level

Difficulty: Intermediate

This pattern is suitable for crocheters with foundational skills who are comfortable working with basic stitches and following shaping instructions. The side-to-side construction method and the creation of the distinctive peak details require attention to pattern reading and stitch placement, making it appropriate for those beyond the beginner level.
