Learn how to crochet clothes for women and girls and hopefully you can get inspired by these following crochet patterns that are great for beginners.
If you are a beginner in the crochet world then these 10 crochet patterns are great for you, as many other’s who have never followed a pattern before have used these as their first crochet patterns ever! So let’s get into it and look at the 10 different crochet patterns you can start today.
If you want to learn how to crochet for beginners then check out this page where you’ll learn the basic stitches, techniques and find more crochet patterns.
Here you will find a whole crochet wardrobe with crochet patterns for every category. Meaning you will get crochet pants, crochet shorts, crochet sweaters, crochet tops, crochet skirts, crochet dresses and crochet accessories.
Let’s start with the most important: crochet tops. Here you have a crochet vest and a crochet summer camisole:
Both use 3 mm crochet hooks and regular superfine/fine cotton yarn (50 g = 160-170 m). Both also follow sizes, which means that you only need to crochet the number of stitches and rows that the pattern says. Easy right?
In terms of colours on the striped top, the yarn is added randomly and is not cut off! So they’re just hitting on the inside of the top.
You will also be introduced to patterns that follow measurements – this means that it will fit you even better and you can adjust the length and width so that it fits you as best as possible.
Crochet patterns that follow sizes or measurements?
Don’t be intimidated by having to follow measurements – here you just crochet until you have the measurement that you measure on your body and then you will have to subtract a few cm from your body measurements, as crochet clothes give a lot. However, you can also go straight to work and take your crocheted row around your hip for example and stretch the row, then remove or add more stitches to fit your body.
The next category is of course the bottom half of your body. Here you get a pair of crochet pants, crochet shorts and a crochet skirt:
These crochet pants have a shell stitch – it consists of double crochet and single crochet – and they also have an elastic edge. The pattern also has a video, which can help you along the way and give you a better overview. The good thing is that they don’t have any increases or decreases, making them very straight forward.
These crochet shorts are made to measure and are very simple. In the end an elastic edge is added to the waist. In addition, the shorts are straight and have no increases or decreases. Here merino is used, but you can easily use cotton and wear them in the summer.
Chunky wool skirt follow sizes and has an elastic waist – but don’t limit yourself to using wool – you can use any kind of super bulky yarn!
Let’s move on to the next category which is: crochet dresses!
This crochet dress is so romantic and it can even be worn both ways; as straight neckline or a v-neckline. It has a waistband and an empire waist and the skirt has width to it and a very flowy drape. It comes in three sizes and it’s very straightforward. You also get a video tutorial that you can follow along with.
This crochet dress follows your measurements so you’ll start by measuring your bum/hip (the widest part of your bottom) and then you’ll subtract what the pattern tells you to subtract from that measurement and then crochet until you have that measurement on your first row. Or you can just take the row around your hip or bum until it fits you – and remember to stretch it, as the dress is a crochet bodycon dress.
And the goes for this crochet dress where you will take your first row on the project and put it around your bum until it measures and once again you have to stretch the row. For this version you’ll need a bigger hook and yarn size for a chunkier version – this also makes the project a lot quicker.
An important part of your crochet wardrobe is a chunky crocheted sweater. Pick which one you’d like to crochet:
The Doris sweater has a boxy shape and wide sleeves and a turtleneck. It consists of 2 identical panels and then the sleeves are crocheted separately and sewn/crocheted on at the end.
Beth sweater is a simple and chunky crochet sweater that is crocheted in one piece – meaning you crochet the entire belly to start with and that way you can also try it on as you go! The ribbed edges are crocheted separately, but the sleeves are crocheted directly from the sweater.
Finally we’ve gotten to crochet accessories…
The possibilities are endless! Whether you’d like to make a crochet neck warmer, crochet jewellery, crochet for home and kitchen, a crochet hat or beanie, a crochet bag or maybe a crochet scarf.
