The charts from this pattern are from my very first design, the stop f*cking up the earth tote bag. I've always been so proud of how these turned out and have been wanted to turn them into a summer wearable for a while! I hope you enjoy.

Pattern includes:

20 pages of detailed instructions with photos.
Excel spreadsheet to calculate your sizing information based on your own measurements.
An approximate measurement chart for sizes XS-4XL
3 chart options for the front with different views of the earth: North/South America, Europe/Africa, and Asia/Australia
1 chart for the back: "STOP F*CKING UP THE EARTH"
Linked videos for more advanced techniques like tapestry crochet

Pattern should be accessible for a confident beginner who is willing to read carefully and learn new techniques. This basic tank pattern has been tested up to a 4XL but the formulas should work for any size.
