16 Beautiful Plus Size Crochet Patterns

Crochet Shrug Pattern

A cream crochet shrug with long cuffed sleeves and a small round mandala on the back on a wooden floor.

Now this is a shrug you can wear with just about anything, smart tailored jeans, baggy boyfriend jeans, whatever. And the cream color can be paired with so many other subtle and modest colors, too.

It features a beautiful mandala on the center back, and is long enough to just about cover your butt. It’s meant to be crocheted with thick wool, so it will do a great job of keeping you that bit warmer when the colder months come round.

The pattern is designed in several different sizes, including XL/2X, and 3X/4X. It’s also designed to be oversized and loose fitting.

Once you’re on the seller’s page, you can simply download the pattern.

Crochet Jacket with Waist Shaping

I love this pattern. I love that it’s a button-up that actually closes. I love that it’s got waist shaping (because I find that critical). And I love the fact that it’s easy. Truly a simple garment to work-up, but looks great on.

Crochet Pattern For The Ziggy Jumper

Brunette woman wearing a cropped pink, purple, orange, and brown striped crochet jumper with long cuffed sleeves.

I just love the bright and bold colors in this stripy jumper! It will really help the wearer stand out in a crowd and not be the forgotten wall flower.

It’s long-sleeved for warmth, and it hides cleavage, while at the same time, cinching in at the waist to be really flattering.

And although there’s several different colors used in it, the pattern is mostly the same throughout. And this is why it’s such a great pattern for newbies to crochet who are ready to push themselves that bit more and grow their confidence and repertoire.

If you don’t really like the bright rainbow look, you can just use one color if you prefer – any color of your choosing.

It’s available in several different sizes all the way up to 5XL

Boho Tank Top Plus Size Crochet Pattern

Blue, green, orange, and purple striped crochet tank top with thin straps hanging on the back of a door.

If you love crocheted clothes but often find them a little too warm to wear, here’s something that could solve the warmth problem. Rather than covering up your arms, this is a tank top that you could even wear on a hot summer’s day. Cool in every way, lol.

You can either keep it Bohemian and use multiple colors of wool, or just grab wool in the wearer’s favorite color. It’s a plus size 2XL, which is for a 48-inch bust. And if you want to give the pattern a twist by adding more length to cover your tummy, just go for it!

Plus Size Honeysuckle Poncho Crochet Pattern

Mannequin wearing a green crochet poncho with a thick dark green stripe around the bottom of the poncho.

I just love this poncho crochet pattern, lovely neck detail, and very frilly and flouncy, but smart and elegant at the same time.

I love how it uses two different tonal colors, and that darker accent that runs along the bottom. 

It’s available in sizes from XL all the way through to 5X.

The Better Sweater Worsted Yarn Weight Crochet Pattern

Brunette woman wearing an oversized lilac crochet jumper with an orange collar and hem and dark and light blue long sleeves.

If you want to try your hand at crocheting a nice, cozy sweater for the first time, this is the one we’d recommend you start off with. It has a nice, easy chunky knit, and it’s mostly the same stitching technique throughout, aside from the bottom and the neckline.

I love how it’s depicted here with bright pastel shades, but you can use any colors you like. And it’s got big billowy balloon sleeves (which were very trendy when this article was written).

And for those nervous crocheters, you also get video tutorials, too! Neat, huh?

Intertwined Pancho Crochet Pattern

This is some truly beautiful detail on the pancho. And I love the clean aesthetic of the stitching. Such a seriously gorgeous pattern.

Aspen Hooded Sweater Crochet Pattern

A woman wearing a beige crochet short sleeved hooded sweater with a large pocket on the stomach area.

Now, this is a great little sweater – long sleeved and hooded for warmth, and a big pocket in the front to help keep your hands warm, which is optional.

It has quite a flirty neckline however, so if you don’t want to show off your cleavage, you’d have to wear a nice top underneath.

It’s available in sizes all the way up to 3X. And it’s also one of the few patterns in our collection that would suit men too.

Geologist’s Horizon Pocket Shawl Crochet Pattern

A blue, cream, yellow, and gray striped crochet shawl folded on a wooden table next to some papers and a pen.

This is a nice shawl to wear when it starts to get a bit chilly. I absolutely love the giant pockets for your hands on either side – so comfy and cozy. You can use any color you like for the stripes. 

It’s a pattern aimed at advanced beginners and is written in standard US terms. It’s a one size deal, but it’s fairly big and chunky.

Picnic Bay Summer Dress Crochet Pattern

This beautiful summer dress crochet pattern is fantastic because there’s sizing for every body. So, even if you’re between sizes, you can make this pattern work for you! And, it happens to be a really cute dress – that ruffle skirt is adorable!

Plus Sizes Elegant Long Sweater Crochet Pattern

The back of a woman wearing a beige long sleeved full length crochet sweater standing in front of a glass door.

If you want a really big crochet project with lots of different patterns, stitches and techniques, then this could be the one for you. It’s basically a very long cardigan that will almost meet your feet at the back.

It’s very delicate and ornate, and is best suited to just one color of wool. It’s a long sleeved number with frilly detail along the bottom hem and on the wrists. It’s quite open at the front, with cascading frills going all the way down to the bottom.

Once you’re on the seller’s page, you can simply download the pattern.

The Valentina Sweater Crochet Pattern

A light purple sweater with a dark purple heart in the center and larger hearts around it lying on a bed.

OMG, I just love this sweater, with its cute little heart in the very center, and all the stripes forming in a heart shaped pattern around them. It looks great with just the two matching colors forming a nice contrast with each layer.

Patchwork Sweater Crochet Pattern

A brown and yellow long sleeved crochet patchwork sweater with a round neckline and cuffed sleeves on a hanger.

This is quite possibly the exact sort of thing you’d imagine a patchwork crocheted sweater to look like, and it’s just so cute. By using four different color wools as in the picture, you get some nice contrast in there.

Everyone will be asking the wearer where she got her sweater from!

The pattern is available in a range of different sizes, all the way up to 5XL. And it’s really big and slouchy, which is perfect for those who like to keep covered up.

Chunky Hexagon Cardigan Crochet Pattern

All that chunky knot-work is just one of the funnest ways to show off your crochet skills. Plus, the loose fit is nice for a chilly day where it’s not cold, but you just need something to break up the breeze!

Juliet Dress Crochet Pattern

Woman sitting in a field of daisies wearing a blue crochet dress with batwing sleeves and a zig zag hem that stops mid thigh.

Ever wanted to crochet a whole dress rather than just a sweater or a poncho? Well this is your chance, you can make this beautiful, delicate and elegant dress. It’s so cute with it’s mid-thigh length, billowy sleeves and cute bow in the front.

It may look complicated at first, but I can assure you that the pattern is very easy to follow.
