Why Make A Crochet Crop Top?
Crochet crop tops, or tops in general, are wardrobe staples. They are airy and lightweight to wear, perfect for hot weather.
Summer festivals are just a perfect event to go to wearing crochet crop tops. You’ll see them on everyone from teenage girls to k-pop musicians and actresses.
What’s better than being on trend and totally cool and comfortable at the same time?
How Long Does It Take to Crochet a Crop Top For Beginners?
While crocheted tops are often very quick and easy to make, how fast you can make one really depends on the skills of the crocheter and the difficulty of the stitches.
The design and size of the top, the weight of the yarn used, and the size of the crochet hook also play a big role.
The average crop top can usually be made in a day or two, and projects that have an open back are even faster to whip up.
How Much Yarn Do I Need to Crochet a Crop Top?
Crocheting a crop top does not need a lot of yarn. The size and design of the top determine the number of skeins needed.
An average crop top with a very simple design requires anywhere from 3-7 skeins or 500 to 1,200 yards.
What’s the Best Yarn for Crochet Crop Tops?
Crochet crop tops are summer garments. And when it comes to the weather, you need to choose the right yarn weight to achieve that airy and cool crochet tank or crop top.
Many of these crochet crop tops are made from superfine yarns to worsted or medium weight yarns. These yarns are perfect since they are light and breathable.
Cotton-blend yarns or acrylic yarns are some of the best yarns for crop tops because they are soft, breathable, and durable.
Here are some great yarns to consider for stitching crop tops in different weights:
- Scheepjes Catona (1, Fingering)
- Lion Brand Oh Baby (2, Sport)
- Premier Yarns Basix DK (3, DK)
- Plymouth Yarn Cleo (3, DK)
- Lion Brand Feels Like Heaven (3, DK)
- Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice (4, Worsted)
- Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton (4, Worsted)
- Lily Sugar‘n Cream (4, Worsted)
All listed patterns below will show you the yarn weight and suggested yarn for the top. So, that is you do not have to worry much about what yarn you’ll need.

Best Crochet Stitches for a Crop Top for Beginners
When looking for a crop top to whip up, the first thing to check in a pattern is the stitches used. For beginners, it's best to choose a design with simple stitches. With that, you’ll be able to make the top without any stress. And you’ll be able to practice your stitches while making your first crochet crop top.
Are you a crochet beginner and want to learn how to crochet a variety of different stitches? You may want to check out my Ultimate Crochet Stitches Library. This contains 45 crochet stitch video tutorials of all these stitches you need to know and more!
Slip Stitch
The slip stitch (abbreviated sl st) is the smallest of all crochet stitches. It is used to join stitches that are worked in rounds. It can also be used to seam pieces together to form your crop top.
A fabric made of nothing but slip stitches looks a lot like knitting. It's the most basic stitch every crocheter should know and you’ll use it a lot.

Single Crochet Stitch
The single crochet stitch (sc) is one of the basic stitches that a beginner should know. It is probably the first stitch you will learn and it makes a nice, solid fabric, which is great for crop tops so the fabric can’t be seen through.
Single crochet is also sometimes used as an edging stitch on a crochet tank top.

Half Double Crochet Stitch
This stitch is one of the basic stitches that a crocheter should know, especially when designing crochet wearables. Half double crochet (hdc) is one of my favorite crochet stitches because of its quality. It's less dense and it works faster than single crochet, but still provides good coverage in tops.
Learn how to half-double crochet.

Double Crochet Stitch
The double crochet or dc is another basic stitch that you’ll learn when you first begin to crochet. It’s twice as tall as a single crochet and its versatility makes it useful for lots of different projects, especially crochet wearables like crop tops. It provides some coverage but also allows good air flow for comfort.
To learn more about how to make a double crochet, check out the post here.

Supplies Needed to Crochet a Crop Top
Like any other crochet project, you’ll need the following materials to make your crochet crop tops.
Tips for Making Crochet Crop Tops
Now that you know some of the basics about crocheting a crop top, here are some things to consider to make your project a success.
Understand Your Skill Level
First thing, you need to know what skill level you are and what patterns will be easiest for you to complete. Because with that, you’ll be able to save so much time and effort. Starting a project out of your capabilities will lead to frustration and then frogging (ripping out the project), or worse, not finishing the project.
In general projects increase in skill level the more shaping, complex stitches, or colorwork is involved, so if the pattern you’re looking at doesn’t indicate a skill level, you can look at the stitches and techniques used to see if you know all of them.
Don’t Skip Swatching
Once you have chosen the pattern you want to make, the next thing to do is to make a gauge swatch out of your yarn of choice, with the recommended hook size, and the stitch that you’ll use in the pattern.
Once you’ve made your swatch, wash it how you plan to wash your finished top and measure it to determine how many stitches per inch you are getting.
If you’re getting more stitches per inch than the pattern calls for, your project will end up too small. Try swatching again with a bigger hook. Likewise, too few stitches per inch will make your project bigger than expected, so you need to use a smaller hook.
This part is important in order to make sure that the crop top you’ll make fits you.
Pay Attention to Measurements
Make sure you measure your body – at least your chest circumference – before you start your project. This is the best way to pick a size that will fit you best. You can always make it longer or shorter as you go but if it doesn’t fit in the chest you’ll end up having to make it again.
As you whip your crop top, make sure to try it on if you can. With this, you’ll be able to check the size as you go. Then if it doesn’t fit you can adjust it before you’ve stitched the whole thing.
And there you have it!
Now that you know these tips, surely you’ll never go wrong with your crop top. And now, let’s get into the most exciting part, the free patterns you are waiting for!
