Tees are some of the most versatile knitwear project. Once they are created, tees are perfect for year-round wear with the help of layering, making them a perfect staple for any crocheter’s project list. We’ve compiled some of our must-make crochet tee patterns for this summer, and we hope you love them as much as we do!

Vilnis Top

I love a sunny beach or lake day, listening to the sound of the waves lapping at the shore. Get ready to make waves with the Vilnis Top, created by Linda Skuja. Vilnis means “wave” in the Latvian language. The tee has a boxier silhouette that is easy to customize. Short rows of asymmetrical lines and a waving stitch pattern create a unique look that is reminiscent of flowing waves.

Floret Crop Top

Mock turtlenecks have quickly become one of my preferred items to have in a wardrobe. For a top that is easily dressed up or down, the Floret Crop Top, designed by Lily Chin, may be the perfect one for you this summer. The tee is made from the top-down and is crocheted by using the double-ended circular Tunisian technique. This top does not necessarily have a mock turtleneck, but the higher neckline gives that illusion. Use contrasting warm and cool colors so create eye-catching colorwork on the textured top.

Gatsby Tee

The 1920s was an elegant time in the fashion world. The Gatsby Tee, created by Jill Hanratty, is a simple crochet tee with a beautiful lace pattern throughout. The tee is oversized, making it a great option for comfort, yet it remains stylish. The top’s textured hem adds interest to the bottom of the piece, so it doesn’t feel so top heavy. The addition of the attached scarf gives the top movement with its 1920s flair.

Mermaid’s Net Top

I adore tops with unique elements. Natasha Robarge’s Mermaid’s Net Top is like nothing you’ve seen before. This tee’s hem is embellished with a simplified freeform Romanian point lace that mimics the details on fishing net. This net is surrounded by rope-like hem details.

Blooming Tee

If someone was to ask me what my favorite flower is, I would say, poppies. They have always been a favorite, but they did not flourish where I lived before, making their short-lived blooms even more special. The Blooming Tee, by Natasha Robarge, showcases an abstract poppy design on the front using intarsia crochet techniques.
