    Check-Me-Out Tank- Crochet Pattern

    Hi friends, it’s Christina from Citybrightknits, and I am thrilled to be sharing another one of my crochet pattern designs with you!  This is the third pattern that Clover has kindly asked me to create for their blog, and I hope you enjoy it.     For this design, I am inspired by colorful checkered squares, which are very on-trend at the moment.  I have used lots of contrasting colors and stitches to give this top a summery feel. Cotton is one of my favorite yarns to work with because I…
