Technique: Regular Crochet

Although the skirt can be made alone, if you would like the set as shown in the photo above, here are the links you will need. Be certain to also print your graph for the tank top, in both front and back, in the size you need. The graphs will depict the stripes for the Boricua Tank Top. When using the graphs for the Floral Baby Set, make the back in one solid color and the front using only the center stripe.

Boricua Patriotic Tank Top (sizes 9 months through 18 months)

Flower Embellishment

Materials

  • Red Heart Luster Sheen (335 yards per 4 ounces): 1 (2, 2) skeins (or approximately 330 (350, 370) yards
  • Suggested hook sizes: G (4mm) and F (3.75mm) (or sizes needed to meet gauge)
  • Tapestry needle (for weaving ends)
  • 1/8″ elastic: 17 (18, 19)”
  • Sewing thread: white (for sewing elastic together to make a ring)
  • Sewing needle (for sewing elastic together to make a ring)

The yarn used in this project (Red Heart Luster Sheen) has been discontinued. I believe Patons Grace would be a good substitute.
