Loose Crochet Summer Tops with free patterns are great because they are modern and so stylish. There’s nothing better for summer than lacy, relaxed pieces. 



These free crochet patterns are suitable for beginners, as they include mostly basic stitches. Single crochet, double crochet, granny stitch – you will find a lot of projects that don’t require any more skills. 

If you want, you can wear these tops over another layer in contrasting colors. This trick will make the intricate stitches pop! You will surely achieve unique and original effects that will catch everyone’s eye.



Make sure to choose DK, Sport, or Fingering weight yarns. Thicker ones may be too heavy for summer, while using finer ones may be difficult and time-consuming. Opt for breathable and natural materials, such as cotton, wool, linen, or silk blends. Each of these yarn types has unique qualities, so make sure you’re making an informed decision. 

You will find recommended yarn type and crochet hook size in each of the patterns. Written patterns, video tutorials, or step-by-step instructions – there are many ways to learn.

These crochet tops with free patterns are feminine and elegant, and you can pair them with jeans or summer dresses. Use natural yarns here, so your tops are breathable and light. But don`t be scared of great bold colors. Making your own garments is lots of fun and definitely worth the effort.

Moreover, if you’re enjoying it, these projects can also make lovely gifts for people close to your heart. Check out these free patterns under the links below and follow us on Facebook and Pinterest for more creative ideas!
