The Summer of Love Tank Top Crochet Pattern is another design I created in recognition of Cancer Awareness Month and the women in my family who were diagnosed with one form of Cancer or another. I am glad to say they all are cancer FREE right now. I am so proud of them and their survival, so I decided to design another crochet pattern called the Summer of Love Tank Top!
