Now that crochet is popular and trendy, it’s exciting to see more people veer outside of their comfort zones. Sure, crochet is great for making sweaters and blankets, but it can also be a great way to add some pizzazz to your wardrobe. You can even crochet pants! And if anyone tells you that crochet pants shouldn’t be a thing, just ignore them. You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.
Seriously though, crochet pants patterns can absolutely be stylish. You might be surprised at just how cute some of these designs are. Crochet yourself a pair of cute pants and you won’t regret it. You’ll find yourself reaching for them in your closet all the time, because nothing compares to the feeling you get when you get to say, “I made them myself!”
For some reason people still think of crochet as stiff and scratchy, but it can absolutely be soft and flowy. That’s what makes these crochet pants patterns so cozy and cute! When you pick a nice yarn and choose a great pattern to follow, then you are going to love the result. That’s where we come in! We’ve scoured the internet for the best free crochet pants patterns around.
Ok, so how do you crochet pants anyway? I know that it may seem complicated on the surface, but most of these crochet pants patterns call for just basic crochet stitches and techniques. There are actually more video tutorials on this list than we usually feature, and that’s great for visual learners and beginner crocheters. You can follow along step by step with these crochet pants patterns to create something that you really love!
In addition to free crochet pants patterns for women, we also have a few patterns for baby pants. These patterns can be a great starting point for folks who have never crocheted pants before. You can practice your skills on a manageable scale and then move on to a pair of pants for yourself when you feel more ready. Plus, it never hurts to have a cute pair of baby pants on hand for when you receive a random baby shower invite.
Many of these patterns would also make amazing crochet shorts! Just adjust the length to suit you.
