The Macaron Cami Crochet Pattern is the perfect crochet tank top! I love the V neck with the vertical stripes. It’s made with DK weight cotton yarn, so it’s very light and airy. Perfect for summer!
There are so many cute ways to wear this tank! I like to tuck in the front a little bit. It would be adorable paired with a cardigan or blazer.

Forgive me…I’m so lost. The row 3 to row 5 has me baffled.. Can’t find it ?
You repeat the same directions as row 2 🙂
You just repeat row 2
Hiya! Love your designs❤️
I do have trouble with the starting foundation chains ?
Any word of advice? Or handy hints?
Is it maybe I’ve always just chained EVERYTHING??
BTW like the CAL for a cause idea we’re getting in our mailboxes?
Hi! You can use a starting ch instead 🙂
I’m having a hard time with medium size row 21. The way it works out I’m doing the hdctog at the top’s bottom. What am I doing wrong?
Beautiful top, I’m just a little confused.
Yes, you’re right. I’m sorry about that!! I’ll fix it now. You can continue with the pattern but switch where the decreases are, if that makes sense
Thanks for your help Breann and quick response!
I love this pattern but am so confused!
It says repeat row 2 to 6,7,8,9,10,11
Row 7, 8,9,1o,11,12. Etc.
I’m not understanding at all. I’m sorry, can you help?
Hi! Each number refers to a different size. They are in order for sizes S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X. What size are you making?
Is not refers to sizes, you wrote
“Repeat row 2 to Row 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11” (where is row 3, 4 and 5?)
and below you repeat the rows but with different execution
“Row 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12: ch 2, turn, hdc in each stitch to the last, 3 hdc in the last stitch”
and below again “Row 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13: ch 2, turn, 3 hdc in first stitch, hdc in each stitch across”
Plus you skip rows 14 and 15
is really really confusing =/
Hi! It does refer to size. Row 3, 4, & 5 are a repeat of row 2.
What size are you making? I will be able to tell you exactly which row to repeat to.
When it says
Repeat row 2 to Row 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 — each number is a different size. So the 6 is size S, the 7 is M, 8, is L, 9 is XL, 10 is 2X, 11 is 3X
I believe it means for size small, continue CROcheting with same stitch and color (Row 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) or some prefer (continue rows 3-6) up until through row 6.
thank you for your free patterns, I love your patterns and dont have any trouble following them
Hi Breann,
Could you share the names of the shades from your Feb 12, 2020 Paintbox DK yarn giveaway? That palette is very striking and I would love to make the Macaron cami in those shades, but can’t quite identify them from the Paintbox website for sure since they have so many gradients of colors.
Hi! I’m really not sure. I just posted what they sent me. I’ll take a closer look at their website and see if I can figure it out!
These are my guesses… Ballet Pink, Blush Pink, Raspberry Pink (?), Duck Egg Blue, Dolphin Blue
