Daphne Henley Tank Top: Pattern Tester Showcase

Tester ShowcasesCourtney Clark

Daphne, darling! She is here! I have had a henley neckline tank on my to do list for a while now and was super excited when I had juuuust enough of The Lab Fibers yarn (that I used for the Laurel Henley sweater) remaining to create her baby sister.
This tank top is worked from the top down, without any seams - it’s all joined as you go! The only sewing you need to do is attaching the buttons and weaving in your ends. Since it is top-down construction you can easily customize the length. Some of my testers chose to go cropped, others chose to go long. Just remember, changing the length will change the amount of yarn you need to create your own!

My testers have showcased how this pattern works on different bodies, with different fibres & colours! Check out their different versions and exactly what yarn & how much they used and where to follow along with their crochet journey.
