So far, I have shown you some designs for the easiest crochet summer tops. However, if you are comfortable with the textured stitches and seaming methods, why not try these really elegant crochet top designs?
We will explore the methods beyond the rectengle join from the easiest shell stitch striped top to the flower power full sleeve top.
As of types, you can crochet a sleevless top to the full sleeve top with even cuffs. The patterns are flexible to range from medium to XL. So, let me inspire your next top project for spring to summer!
Crochet Striped Top
Spring tops should be colorful and not overly warm. This crochet sleeveless, fitted top fulfills both needs and can be crocheted using an 8-row repeat pattern.
You will want to crochet two rectangles, unite them based on your body measurements, and add shoulder straps. You can definitely crochet it as long as you wish by adding more rows.
It shows off an unmatched combination of shell, puff stitches, and open double-crochet rows, with stripes of three colors of yarn. So, it looks really elegant and can revive colors in your tops.
Crochet Cutie Top
This is a sleeveless, cropped summer top featuring a ruffled color panel at the bottom and shoulder straps. With an easy but elegant texture of double crochet two together, this is definitely a “Cutie Top.”
For the breathability, you will want to use the cotton yarn, but you can also use acrylic or wool for the spring.
There is a little shaping involved for the sides, and the neck is kinda flattering. The recommended color scheme is using two shades of the same color of yarn.

Crochet Spring Top (Version 2)
Let’s crochet a stunning vest top using shell stitch all around and glittery ombre yarn. The recommended yarn will let you have a lightweight crochet top with a lacy ruffle hem.
You will want to crochet elegant bow ties to close it. With the same materials, you will end up with a medium-sized top.
Since it is crocheted as a vest, the pattern demands crocheting two front panels and one back panel. It will be a not-to-miss top for spring and special occasions.
Crochet Square Top
This elegant summer top is entirely crocheted from striped classic granny squares and triangles. With that construction method, you can easily have a custom-fitted top by changing the size of each square.
For joining, the shell-stitch seam is used. You will want to keep the shoulder strap of the same width as the solid edging between the squares. The hem is made elegant with the shell stitch edging.
This is a colorful top you must crochet for summer. Make 8 such squares and four triangles for standard size.
Crochet Granny Top
This full-sleeved, colorful, and wrap-around crochet top is one of the most versatile in body dimensions and type. You can crochet the stripes in sleeves in your own choice of colors and adjust the number of squares, too.
There is a contrasting ribbed border that also adds a little flexibility. When wrapped, you will end up with a V-neck.
There are squares of varying size,s but the recommended number is 10 rounds per square. Also, crochet the belly tie for a perfect fit.
The alternative is short-sleeved tops! Here are ideas:
Crochet Sandy Top
Looking for a crochet top for formal wear? This full-sleeve top crocheted with both lighter and bulkier yarn in sandy color is not to be missed, especially for Christmas. You can definitely choose other colors, like aqua or baby pink.
The sleeves are rather puffy and shorter at the ribbed cuff, and also have straps for the shoulder.
The bodice features an elegant texture of star stitch but requires treble crochet clusters. You will also want to crochet four mesh stitch rows both on the body and the sleeves. Wanna crochet it?
Crochet Floral Top
The Dreaming in Flowers top has voluminous “flower power” sleeves, cuffs, and a solid stitch body. This will be a fitted crochet top for an average size medium, but it includes instructions for customization to other sizes.
The cuffs are rather long and end up as a really fashionable top, perfect for formal occasions.
Once all pieces are complete, the panels are joined at the shoulders using single crochet on the wrong side.
