Step one in every refashion: the original garment. I bought this tank at my favourite thrift store with the original intention of doing nothing to it. I get so excited about details and prints that I own very few basics. It turns out I can`t really handle basic.
I folded the back and cut out a keyhole for the criss-crossing.
I pinned it to an old cereal box to keep it stable.
This one is so hard to explain that even the crochet "pattern" I originally found just says follow the picture... I used a needle and a thin yarn and knotted the yarn every time I looped around. I went back over each strand twice to double up the yarn and left 2 cm between each strand to define them.
I didn't like seeing the knotty yarn all around the keyhole so I tied the yarn back and sewed lace around criss-crossing to frame it.
And voila! I promise it looks harder than it is!
