Get ready for summer - 15 free, beginner-friendly crochet patterns

05/04/2024

Hello there!

This year, the main role belongs to the crocheted pieces! I have collected 15 free, beginner-friendly crochet patterns so that you can prepare for the good weather in time! Update your wardrobe and start crocheting!

1. Scallop Tank Top

I have been following the work of Heather a.k.a. Hay-Hay Crochet for a long time. I have already crocheted 1-2 of her patterns and I strongly recommend them to those who are just learning to crochet, as her writing is very easy to follow! And, the best, the pattern available up to XS-4XL! You can get the pattern on Heather's page here!

2. Mya Crop Top

This top is one of the coolest free patterns I've ever seen. It is available in 19 sizes and can be combined in 4 ways! This way, by crocheting one top, you will have 4 in your closet! You can get the pattern here.

3. Sagebrush Tank Top

This is a very simple, but all the more practical piece. It can be easy to wear for a shopping, but it is also a perfect choice for hiking or walking around the city, and with a few accessories or a skirt, it can also be worn for the office. You can get the pattern here.

4. Tie Tank Top

Back to Hay-Hay Crochet, Heather's Tie Tank Top is a beginner-friendly but extra piece because she doesn't work with traditional stitches, but with a so-called with 'Lemon Peel Stitch' stitching, which lends a really exciting texture to your top. What's more, if you choose a yarn with such extravagant colors as in the picture, you know that everyone will ask: where did you buy it? Available in sizes XS-5XL here!

5. Garden Squares Top

If I've already mentioned my favorite crocheter, you can't miss Garnstudio either, where you'll find lots of free patterns for knitting and crocheting, from the smallest to the largest! That's why I chose some beginner-friendly patterns from here as well. If you like working with granny squares, this pattern is for you! Unleash your imagination and choose special colors! Available in S-3XL sizes here!

6. Spring Bloom

Even though the name of the top is Spring, this piece is a perfect choice for everyday summer! It's very easy to make, but it takes a little more time because of the length of the top! Available in sizes S-3XL here!

7. Beach Rite

This top definitely belongs to summer tops! Just because of his name. Imagine walking on the beach in this unique piece with a flowing skirt! It's comfortable, you don't even need a bra underneath! Available in sizes S-XL here!

8. The Willow Top

I've been following Kelsie since I started crocheting. She has already designed many unique tops, most of her patterns can be purchased on etsy, but for some, like this one, she has created a tutorial on YouTube, which can be viewed for free here!

9. Chasing Summer Tank Top

This is a quick piece to make as it consists almost entirely of dc (double crochet). So you can crochet two of them in a week! And if you want to spice it up a bit, make it in two colors! Available in sizes XS-5XL here!

10. Tie Strap Crop Top

It uses the most basic stitches, so it's a perfect choice if you're a really beginner crocheter. This top isn't overcomplicated at all, but it still has a touch of fantasy. The tying strap part and the bottom edge enhance the quality of the simple crop top! Available in sizes XS-3XL here!

11. Modern Crop Top

This stylish crochet top will be a great choice in your summer wardrobe! The high neck and the short bottom complement each other. A perfect choice for a summer party! It is written for S size, but can easily be resized for smaller or larger sizes. This is explained in the video tutorial, which you can watch here!

12. Eden Crop Top

If you want something more sporty, I definitely recommend the Eden Crop Top, which can be made quickly and easily in sizes S-XL! A pattern description and video are also available for the top, which you can access here and here!

13. Summer Fruits Top

This pattern is very similar to the previous one. You have to start in the same way, only the upper part has been slightly changed, which will allow you to add a completely new piece of clothing to your summer wardrobe! This is also a sportier, street piece. If you want to throw it up a notch, choose two colors and crochet it in stripes! The pattern is available here in sizes S-2XL!

14. Heatherette Bralette

A real party crochet top! Making it is very easy and very fast! Available in sizes S-5XL! You can find the pattern here!

15. Shoulder Crop Top

At the end of my list, I brought another Hay-Hay Crochet pattern. This is a very simple pattern that is easy to make. Because of the upper sleeve, it lends an extra look to the outfit! Available in sizes XS-2XL here!

+1: Shell Bralette

This sweet and simple crocheted bralette was my first bralette I made this year. I admit, I'm really looking forward to the warmer days and I'm inspired by the sunshine. This top is quite customizable as it can be made in many sizes. It's tied at the back, so everyone can wear it comfortably. Pattern here!


I hope you enjoyed this list and found it helpful!

Happy Crocheting!
