With petal color yarn, chain 5 for starting chains.
Work a cluster stitch in the first single crochet, followed by chain 3.
Repeat cluster stitch in each single crochet across with chain 3 between each.
End the row with a chain 5 and slip stitch.

Row 4:

Start with the background frame color.
Chain 5 as starting chains, then work:
3 double crochets in the first chain space.
3 half double crochets in the next two chain spaces.
Corner stitches: 3 double crochets, chain 3, 3 double crochets in the same chain space.
Continue with 3 half double crochets in the next chain spaces and end with 3 double crochets in the last chain space.

Slip stitch up the chain 5 from the previous row.
Chain 5 again and work similar stitches as row 4, adjusting for the triangular shape.
Finish with chain 5 and slip stitch.

Row 6:

Work double crochets, skipping stitches and including chain stitches across before the corner stitches in the chain space.
Repeat corner stitches, then follow the pattern across to the end.
Chain 3 and slip stitch to finish.

Assembling the Tank Top:

Arrange the Granny Squares:

Place 12 granny squares as shown in the pattern.

Seaming:

Use whipstitch to seam the granny squares together with the wrong sides facing you.

Adding Triangles:

Fold and add the daisy granny triangles at the bottom of the tank top, and seam them using the same technique.

Top Edging and Straps:

Top Edge:

With the right side facing, work single crochets all around the top edge, skipping the last chain space. Chain for the strap, attach on the opposite side, and continue single crocheting around.

Straps:

Crochet single crochets in the chain of the strap for a few rounds, and repeat for the second strap.

Middle Section and Straps:

Work single crochets around, including in the back bumps of the straps, and decrease in the middle of the V’s for shaping.

Bottom Edging:

Setup:

With the tank top upside down, rejoin yarn at the far right triangle.

Round 1:

Chain 1, pick up and single crochet around the bottom edge.

Round 2:

Single crochet around.

For Round 3 (Pico Edging):

Switch to a smaller hook. Chain 3, single crochet in the first chain, then single crochet in the next three stitches; repeat around for the Pico edging.

Finishing Touches:

Weave in all ends and block the tank top for the final shape.
