Olive Grove Crochet Tank Top Pattern: Boho Lace Sleeveless Blouse (PDF Download)

A warm-weather wardrobe essential you will actually wear all summer. The Olive Grove tank top combines a horizontal open-work lace stitch with a relaxed, flattering silhouette that works just as beautifully over a swimsuit as it does tucked into wide-leg linen trousers. This is the kind of piece your followers will ask about.
This listing is for a PDF crochet pattern. No physical item will be shipped. Your file is available for instant download immediately after purchase.

What You Will Make:
A sleeveless lace tank top worked flat in two panels, seamed at the shoulders and sides, with a wide scoop neckline in the front and a slightly higher back neckline for comfortable coverage. The body uses a three-row lace stripe repeat alternating dense single crochet rows with eyelet rows and elongated treble crochet oval rows, creating the signature open texture you see in the photos. Finished with a picot hem edge and a single crochet round at the neckline and armholes for a clean, polished look.

What Is Included in the PDF:

The PDF is 10 pages, clearly formatted and print-ready.

Who This Pattern Is For:
This pattern suits intermediate crocheters who want a garment that looks impressive but works up with a straightforward, satisfying stitch repeat. If you have made a basic top or garment before and want something with a bit more texture and structure, the Olive Grove is a natural next project. It is also a strong choice for crochet designers and makers looking to build a cohesive summer capsule wardrobe.

A Note on This Colorway:
The Olive Grove was designed as a nature-forward alternative to classic summer brights. The muted sage green tone photographs beautifully in natural light and pairs effortlessly with cream, rust, sand, and warm neutrals. Style it with wide linen trousers, high-waisted shorts, or as a beach layer over a one-piece swimsuit.
