These crochet top designs include flared-bottom variations of tank tops, Lolita tops, camisoles, and a few other top styles. Also called the Peplum tops in general, they are comfy, fashionable, and irresistibly elegant. You can crochet them with the lovely edgings and ruffles in any size.
There are also beautiful stitches to choose from, such as shell stitch, cluster stitch, knitted stitch, flower stitch, and more. For the bodice, however, mostly basic solid stitches will be used. All of them are must-wear for summer and spring. I have shared these tops many times, but this is dedicated solely to that type.
Note for You: I am bringing new SUMMER top ideas with step-by-step video tutorials. Also see “The Easiest Crochet Tops” and “Textured Summer Tops.”
Crochet Sleeveless Flared Top
This is a beautifully textured flared tank top with a shell stitch edging on the shoulder straps and a lace-up tie in the back. The size is determined by the chest measurement. For example, a 3-6 month size goes with a 45cm chest, requiring 104 chains.
Both the bodice and the strap require solid stitching of half double crochet. The skirt requires a repetitive pattern of double crochet clusters. There is also an edging in white on the hem. You can crochet it in any color from aqua to purple.
Materials Needed
- Mercerized cotton yarn (worked with two strands held together)
- 2.5 mm crochet hook
Crochet Lolita Flared Top
This crochet top is a beautiful, flared, and short-sleeve variation of the Lolita blouse. The sleeves are puffy and lacy, the skirt has ruffles and an elegant lacy shell stitch texture, and there are also ribbon ties on the bodice.
You will want to keep it a little fitted from the bodice and flowy from the bottom. You can pair it with a bow hair tie. For the Lolita fashion, choose colors like black, pink, and red.
- Yarn: Baby yarn (approx. 1 mm thick, 40g per roll)
- Crochet Hook: 2.5 mm
- Ribbon: Two strips, each 90 cm long (1 cm wide)

Crochet Daisy Flared Top
This is a lightweight and elegant camisole flower top crocheted using joined daisy stitch, solid, and lacework. The flared bottom, this time is inspired by the fairy gown. The shoulder straps are also quite stylish and beautifully ruffled. The back panel is complemented using solid stitching.
It has a lacy finish due to the use of 0.8mm cotton yarn. You will want to use a contrasting color along with the white. I recommend using ight shades like pink, yellow or yellowgreen.
- Yarn: Fingering weight yarn (white) and 100% cotton yarn (0.8 mm).
- Crochet Hook: 1.75 mm (or 1.5 mm).
Crochet Flower Flared Top
Let’s crochet a beautiful V-neck flared camisole top with open back, a tulip stitch edging, and mesh gown. Tulip stitch is one of the easiest flower stitches, so you are good to go. Unlike joined full-flower stitches, this results in a uniform and quick texture.
You can couple it with the popular tulip headband and make your summer equally colorful as the spring. You can choose from hot pink, purple and yellow for the tulip puffs.
- Yarn: Size 1mm yarn (approx. 2 balls of white, 1 ball of green, 1 ball of pink).
- Crochet Hook: 2.5 mm.
Crochet Granny Flared Top
This colorful top is crocheted from two big classic granny squares for both panels, further worked using granny stripe stitch for the straps and bottom. There is also a striped work on the bottom and a solid edging. Easy to adjust in size and pretty leightweight.
