Free Crochet Pattern - Pop Tanklet made with hosiery yarn











I wear an anklet on each foot and feel not fully dressed when it's not there.  Unfortunately, the clasp broke on one of them so couldn't wear it any more.  After a few days, just decided I needed something to take the place of the broken one.  So I made one with pop tabs and hosiery yarn.

Why hosiery yarn?  Because it's stretches and is extremely comfortable.

Materials Needed:

  • Pop Tabs:  clean/same size - 17 or # needed for fitting
  • Size F crochet hook
  • 1 pair Hosiery Yarn of 2 different colors 
  • Button
  • optional - Scissors, Needle
  • optional - Needle Nose Pliers 

Option Pre-Step:   I just think it gives the finished design a much more cleaner-polished appearance without the leftover can piece from the pop tab.  It's very easy to do.  Grab needle nose pliers and working in back of pop tab - starting at corner of piece and pop tab, begin  pulling off piece moving the pliers around to opposite edge.  


Pattern:
Join primary color in first pop tab (hole on the right) with a slip stitch, make 2 single crochet stitches in same hole, lay a second pop tab over first pop tab - right hole of 2nd pop tab over left hold of first pop tab, make 2 single crochet stitches in next pop tab going through top and bottom holes.
