You don’t need to put your crochet hooks away just because it’s summer! There are so many fun summer crochet projects that you can work on, even when temperatures start to rise!
For each of the projects below, I list the pattern format as well as the yarn weight. This allows you to see at a glance what you might be able to use from your stash for a fun summer crochet project.
Most of the patterns are free, and the ones that are paid are marked with a “$”.
If you’ve never created a gingham crochet project before, it might look a little intimidating. Don’t worry, I’ve created a gingham crochet tutorial specifically in anticipation of this project.
I was looking to add a splash of color to my summer wardrobe this year and I really like cardigans or flannels that I can just throw on for a little warmth and style. So I whipped this really easy blanket sweater. And I do mean EASY folks!
The Rainbow Crown has a lot of options for striping patterns, colors, and more so you can customize it to suit anyone! I have also included a detailed photo tutorial, and link to video tutorial for weaving in all those ends and hiding them really well!
When the weather is warm we might not always want to work on a blanket or other big crochet project. These mason jar covers can give you a quick and fun project. They are also great for adding a little decoration to your table or desk. Pop in a little water and some flowers. Or maybe use them to decorate a jar for holding pens or your crochet hooks.
This tapestry crochet headband pattern is perfect for using up those scraps of leftover yarn. And even though it uses several different colors, there are absolutely NO ends to weave in!
This can easily be made in a weight #1-4 yarn, just use the recommended hook size for the yarn size being used and add more or less row repeats as needed.
Not only can you customize your storage basket by using different weights of yarn, you can also increase the height of this basket to your desired taste.
The Susan Tote uses the sedge stitch. If you haven’t tried it yet, its so easy! It looks so delicate and feminine but it really is a sturdy stitch and perfect for bags!
If you’re hoping to make the next step from simple hats and scarf projects then this easy crochet beach tote bag tutorial is a great simple project for beginners. Once you have created your base you can make your bag as deep or shallow as you like, the sturdy stitch means it’s perfect for all of your groceries.
The inspiration behind this crochet wall art comes from those rain showers that happen in the midst of sunshine. I find those kinds of rain showers so peaceful and full of hope. This wall hanging is the perfect cheerful kid-friendly twist on modern wall art.
The Summer of Love Tank Top Crochet Pattern is a design I created in recognition of Cancer Awareness Month and the women in my family who were diagnosed with one form of cancer or another.
Just a few simple stitches and some lightweight yarn and you’ll have a lovely warm weather scarf that’ll add a pop of color and a touch of style to your spring or summer wardrobes. The Aida Triangle Scarf is easy to work up and takes only a day to do!
This design is incredibly easy to make, all you need to know is how to chain, slip stitch, half double crochet, double crochet, and treble crochet. I outline all the measurements needed below so you can easily adjust it to fit your body and length preferences.
Butterflies have always been special to me, so I’m kicking off summer with a butterfly flip flop crochet pattern. I used I Love This Cotton yarn from Hobby Lobby, but any yarn will do. It takes less than an ounce of yarn to decorate a pair of flip flops with a butterfly motif. The pattern is so quick and easy, you can make several pairs in an evening.
This is a great garment to simply throw over your bikini on summer holiday or dress up a little for cocktail at the bar and let the crochet lacy stitches do all the talking. This is an easy beginner friendly crochet pattern and a great one if you are just starting out in crochet garment making. The lacy stitches create an intricate looking fabric but they are really easy and the stitch pattern is easily memorable.
This shawl will work up quickly for most. The silk yarn and open stitch make this shawl perfect for summer nights, relaxing on the porch or grilling out.
Who knew a simple leaf stitch repeat would create such a stunning design! This pattern is sure to be a staple in your closet and will get you many compliments from your maker and may even convert some non-crocheters.
The Garden Kerchief is the perfect accessory for the hot summer weather. It’s perfect to the hair back or use as a cute accessory for style. It’s lightweight and lacy for a quick summer project.
This is a project that you can memorise and bring everywhere. The amigurumi whale is made with simple crochet stitches and this is a great beginner-project. But also more experienced crocheters will have fun with this. I did!

Happy crocheting!

I have tried to download a couple patterns, get to the Ravelry page. When I click the “use a coupon” button, nothing comes up. I will try later in the day, or another day while the Giveaway is going on.
Hi Dotty, sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the giveaway. On each Ravelry pattern page, after you click the ‘Use a coupon’ button, you need to enter SUMMER2020 into the box, and then click “Apply”. After this, the pattern should be free for you to complete the checkout. Let me know if it works out for you. Sarah
Dotty…Same thing happened to me, but once I actually signed into my Ravelry account and hit the Use Coupon, then it popped up, so just make sure that you’re signed in.
There are some great patterns here. Thank you so much to all of the designers.
You’re so welcome Jamie, there are some absolutely stunning patterns in this giveaway! Thanks so much for your lovely message 🙂
Cannot get the buttons to bring up pattern to be able to enter code
Which pattern are you having problems with Nancy?
Nancy, Make sure you are signed into your Ravelry account. If you aren’t nothing happens.
Worked perfect for me the first time. Love the Summer Romance Tee Great giveaway! Thanks
I have tried to download the blouse pattern. When I select the coupon code link it takes me back to the Ravelry front page of the blouse. Am I doing something wrong?
It was Summer Romance Top by Blue Star Crochet that I was unable to get the coupon code box.
Hi Tamara, there are definitely some Ravelry glitches happening (I think due to their redesign last week). For most people, logging into their Ravelry account and then trying the coupon again has seemed to solve any issues. Let me know if this works for you and if not, we’ll work out a way to get you the pattern 🙂
