4 Free Patterns

Welcome to our collection of free crochet tops, breathable summer pullovers, and size-inclusive cardigan patterns. Every garment in the Hook & Hearth studio is graded from XS to 3XL (and up to 5XL on boxy silhouettes) with clear bust measurements, positive ease recommendations, and schematic notes so you can tailor body length and sleeve drape to your exact frame.

About This Collection

For warm-weather camisoles, openwork mesh tees, and granny-cluster blouses, we recommend #2 sport-weight or #3 DK-weight plant fibers—such as 100% mercerized cotton, combed pima cotton, or cotton-linen blends—worked with a 3.5 mm (E-4) to 4.5 mm (7) hook so your stitches stay crisp and never sag. For three-season cardigans and cozy layering vests, #4 worsted-weight merino blends or soft anti-pilling acrylic paired with a 5.0 mm (H-8) hook give effortless warmth and stitch definition.

New to garment making? Start with one of our two-rectangle drop-shoulder tops that require zero complex armhole shaping, and check our Crochet Tips & Stitch Guides for step-by-step help on blocking gauge swatches and seaming invisible mattress-stitch shoulders.
