If you've been scrolling through Instagram lately, you've noticed it: crochet tops are absolutely everywhere.

This season, crochet tops have moved from niche craft project to genuine fashion statement. And if you've ever thought "I could never make something like that," this post is here to change your mind. You can. You just need the right pattern.

Why Crochet Tops Are Having a Major Fashion Moment

The fashion world has been leaning hard into handmade, textural, and one-of-a-kind pieces for the past few seasons, and crochet sits right at the center of that conversation. Designers are sending open-weave tops down runways, high street brands are trying to replicate the delicate look of a hand-crocheted stitch, and buyers are increasingly turning to handmade because they want something that actually fits their body and reflects their personal style.

There's also something deeper happening. People are tired of buying fast fashion pieces that fall apart after three washes. A crochet top you make yourself? You chose the yarn, you set the tension, you decided the length. It fits you, not a size chart.

5 Crochet Top Patterns to Make This Season

Here are five designs that cover everything from your very first wearable garment to your next style obsession.

1. Flow Top — The Open-Mesh Summer Essential

→ Get the Flow Top Pattern — USD $7.55

If you've been dreaming of that effortless "mesh top over a bralette" look, the Flow Top is your pattern. It's built around a simple repeating mesh stitch that catches the light beautifully and layers over anything — a bandeau, a fitted tank, a bralette. The result is that perfectly intentional, put-together look that feels both sensual and relaxed.

What makes this one special is that it looks intricate but works up beautifully even if you're still building your skills. It also includes a video tutorial, so you're never left guessing what comes next.

Best for: Anyone ready to move from practice swatches into a real, wearable garment. Style it with: High-waist linen trousers or a flowy maxi skirt for an editorial summer look.

2. Blossom Top — The Structured Crop with a Feminine Edge

→ Get the Blossom Top Pattern — USD $6.65

The Blossom Top is a beautifully structured crop worked in 100% cotton with double crochet and single crochet — two of the most foundational stitches in crochet. But don't let that fool you into thinking it's basic. The elastic single crochet technique gives this top a refined, finished quality that makes it look far more complex than it is to make.

This pattern teaches you something genuinely useful: how to create a clean, stretchy edge that works for a fitted garment. That's a skill you'll use again and again.

Best for: Beginners who want to learn garment construction with stitches they already know. Style it with: High-waist jeans and gold jewelry for a polished, everyday look.

3. Vera Cropped Top — The Perfect First Garment

→ Get the Vera Cropped Top Pattern — USD $6.97

Sometimes the most beautiful things are the simplest. The Vera Cropped Top is made entirely with double crochet — one of the first stitches you ever learn — but the result is a chic, lightweight top that feels made for hot days and easy dressing.

It's worked in cotton thread, which gives it that clean, slightly structured drape that makes crochet tops look intentional rather than crafty. And like all Bemoon patterns, the size chart means you can adapt it to fit exactly how you want.

Best for: True beginners making their very first wearable crochet garment. Style it with: White linen shorts and espadrilles for an effortless summer outfit.

4. Jazmine Cropped Top — The Statement Piece

→ Get the Jazmine Cropped Top Pattern — USD $6.78

The Jazmine Cropped Top was born because the Jazmine Blouse — one of Bemoon's most beloved designs — deserved a bolder, shorter version. Made with mercerized cotton, this pattern gives you that smooth, subtly shiny finish that looks polished and elevated. The Jasmine stitch adds delicate texture that elevates the silhouette into something truly special.

This is the top that makes people stop you and ask where you bought it.

Best for: Beginners ready to move into more characterful stitch work. Style it with: A flowy midi skirt and delicate layered necklaces for a romantic, coquette-inspired look.

5. Light Blouse — The Airy, Elegant Option

→ Get the Light Blouse Pattern — USD $6.27

Not every summer top needs to be a crop. The Light Blouse brings a more relaxed, feminine silhouette — breezy, open-stitch, and elegant in a way that works as much for a rooftop dinner as it does for a beach afternoon. The stitch it's built around is light and airy, giving the finished blouse that delicate, almost ethereal quality that photographs so beautifully.

If you're drawn to the romantic, flowing side of crochet fashion, this is your starting point.

Best for: Beginners and intermediate makers who want a slightly longer silhouette. Style it with: Tailored wide-leg trousers or a linen skirt for a polished summer look.

How to Choose the Right Crochet Top Pattern for You

Before you dive in, it helps to know what you're looking for. Not every crochet top is built the same, and the right pattern depends on your skill level, your personal style, and how you plan to wear it.

Here are a few questions to guide you:

What's your skill level? If you know how to chain, single crochet, and double crochet, you have everything you need to make a beautiful wearable top. Most beginner-friendly crochet top patterns are built around these foundational stitches with just enough variation to keep things interesting.

What's your style? Are you drawn to something delicate and feminine? Something minimal and structural? Something short and bold? Crochet tops come in a beautiful range of silhouettes, and the stitch itself changes everything about how the finished piece feels and looks.

What do you want to learn? The best crochet projects aren't just things you wear, they're skills you keep. A good pattern teaches you something new while still being achievable.

What Every Crochet Top Pattern from Bemoon Has in Common

Every pattern in this collection is designed with the same philosophy: you should be able to make something genuinely beautiful without already being an expert.

That means:

• Clear, step-by-step instructions that actually explain the why, not just the what
• Stitch diagrams so you can visualize each section before you hook it
• Size charts so the finished garment fits your body
• Accessible techniques built around stitches you either already know or can learn quickly

Crochet fashion isn't a hobby here. It's a design practice. And these patterns are built to treat it that way.
