Our 5 Favorite Crocheted Sundresses

Seaside Dress

The Seaside Dress by designer Moon Eldridge is a kaleidoscope of summer color: the palette pulls from the ocean, sky, coral, and sand. Stylish chevrons accentuate the V-neck shaping, while a playful scalloped hem adds a bit of fun.

Best for: Wearing to the office, then happy hour on a patio.

Jade Dress

If you’re looking for a crocheted sundress you can make quickly, the Jade Dress by designer Natasha Robarge is just the thing. Seamless construction, DK-weight yarn, and straightforward stitches (think V-stitches, shells, single crochets, and double crochets) come together in a classic silhouette. The butterfly sleeves give it a romantic flare.

Best for: Date nights, movies in the park, and other occasions where the breeze will make your sleeves flutter.

Jasmine Flower Dress

Everyone needs at least one maxi dress for the summer, and the stunning Jasmine Flower Dress by Alla Koval is the obvious choice. The delicate stitches in this crocheted sundress are complemented with a solid V-neck top and an empire-waist silhouette.

Best for: Anything from eloping on the beach to picking up flowers from the farmers’ market.

Fresh Catch Dress

Two contrast mesh fabrics collide in the Fresh Catch Dress by Jill Hanratty. The dueling mesh intensities shift diagonally across the dress, creating movement and interest. Dolman sleeves, while still open and airy will help you stay a bit warmer on cool summer evenings.

Best for: Sunset strolls and al fresco dining.

Gobi Dress

There’s something about the Gobi Dress by Annastasia Cruz that just screams summer. The bodice showcases panels of petite granny squares separated by colorful rows of granny stitch. The mesh skirt is worked from the top down and culminates in more granny squares. This stunning crocheted sundress is worked in crochet thread but is worth every stitch.

Best for: Outdoor music festivals and concerts.
