I simply love details that are easily doable. That is just what this cross-over detail from the Venus Racerback Tank crochet design is all about. This design (and many like it) are featured in the new book Runway Crochet: High-style Patterns from Top Designers' Hook to Yours! It's made by simply eight lengths of single crochets in chains woven and tacked in place. I bet this would be a great way to alter a base garment and change it up just on the top.
