40 Boho Crochet Patterns You’ll Want to Make Immediately
If you love artsy fashion and have a more free-spirited style, you might just be a boho at heart.
Maybe you even describe your style as boho chic!
But what does the word “boho” actually mean, and where did it come from?
“Boho” is short for bohemian, and its roots are actually quite complex.
The term comes from the French word Bohémien, which was originally used in a derogatory way to describe the Romani people in the 15th century, who were believed to have traveled through the Bohemia region, which is now the modern-day Czech Republic. Over time, that label was extended to artists, poets, and other creatives who lived unconventional lives.
After the French Revolution, many artists lost their aristocratic patrons and were thrust into poverty, adopting nomadic lifestyles to survive. These communities, especially in Paris’s Latin Quarter, became known for their wild creativity and rejection of traditional values. They were compared to the Romani, and the term “bohemian” stuck.
By the 1800s, bohemian had evolved from insult to identity. Writers like Victor Hugo and Balzac helped romanticize the lifestyle, and operas like Carmen and La Bohème, which later inspired the musical Rent, sealed the image of the starving artist who chose freedom over convention.
Across the Channel, British Pre-Raphaelites were rebelling too, trading corsets for flowing dresses, flower crowns, and handcrafted jewelry. By the late 1800s, the Aesthetic Movement embraced bold patterns, global influences, and a philosophy of beauty over rules.
In the U.S., boho transformed again. The Beatniks of the 1950s stripped things down, black clothes, art over materialism, and that energy merged with the colorful, nature-loving vibe of 1960s hippie culture: fringe, tie-dye, patchwork, and peace signs.
Then came boho-chic in the 2000s, which is how many of us know it, led by icons like Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine, Vanessa Hudgens, Zoë Kravitz, and the Olsen twins, who sported messy buns, maxi skirts, slouchy bags, and festival fashion. It was boho, but glammed up.
So what is boho style today?
It’s a visual legacy of rebellion and creativity. You’ll see earthy tones, bold prints, natural fabrics like cotton and suede, tassels, embroidery, layered accessories, and of course, crochet.
Crochet belongs in the boho world because it’s handmade, meaningful, and full of texture. Reusing yarn, choosing natural fibers, or designing your own piece all reflect the boho values of creativity, sustainability, and self-expression.
I really love this curating this round-up, and will be separating the patterns into four different categories: Home Decor, Accessories, Blankets, and Clothing. You can also find all of links to each pattern below, well let's get started.
Home Decor
Boho Wall Hanging by Sandra Stitches, see the pattern here.
First is this fun boho wall hanging by Sandra Stitches. This one is more intermediate level to make, and the special stitches tomato it is the small puff and cross stitch. The finished wall hanging is 16 inches by 11 inches and this is a free pattern on their website, and it’s perfect to create and give your space a nice bit of interest and texture.
Textured Rug by Cream of the Crop Crochet, see the pattern here.
Next is this textured rug by Cream of the Crop Crochet. It’s more intermediate level to make and uses basic stitches as well as the bobble stitch, and it measures 43 by 25 inches so it’s a perfect size for a runner. And I also love the tassels, and thought it really adds to the boho charm.
Malvine Wall Hanging by Meghan Makes Do, see the pattern here.
I also like this Malvine Wall Hanging by Meghan Makes Do. The finished size is 4 ft long by 28 inches, so it’s quite a statement piece, and it’s made of five separate pieces, which are then each attached to the dowel rod. The t-shirt yarn that is suggested to make it with gives a nice structure to the piece and helps it keep its shape. I loved that this one looks like macrame although it’s made with crochet and draping braids.
Another great pattern is the Oh So Boho Wall Hanging pattern by Love and Stitch Design, and this one is more intermediate level to make because it does use a tapestry grid chart to create. The wall hanging is worked from the bottom up, and I love the fringe on the bottom as well to finish it off.
Himalaya Rug by Garn Studio Drops Paris, see the pattern here.
This gorgeous Himalaya rug by Drops Design is also a great one, it’s worked in the round from the center outwards, and it’s made with 8mm hook so it works up quite quickly, but it is a diagram chart pattern, so that’s good to keep in mind that you should be comfortable reading charts to decorate this piece. And I really loved all the colors on this one, it really has the eclectic vibe and how it has a Mandala design.
And if you’re a fan of the brand Anthropologie you might like this next one, it’s the Anthro inspired crochet fusion by Topknotch Crochet. It’s made to create a 12 by 27 inch pillow form so it’s a nice lumbar sized pillow, and uses basic stitches to make as well as the bobble and mini bobble stitches and it is written out as well as has a chart if you prefer as well.
I also loved this Peacock Tail Mandala Pillow by Lilla Bjorn Crochet. This one is made in the round, and is made using a number of special stitches, specifically a series of front post treble stitches, and creates a lot of lovely texture. I also liked the colorway they created this one in, you create the front then the back and stitch them together and stuff it with pillow foam to finish it off. 
Wall Organizer by Top Knot Crochet, see the pattern here.
This wall organizer by top knot crochet is also a great and beginner friendly piece to make. It only uses basic stitches and I loved how they added the cotton lining to it to help keep it sturdy and make it look more polished. It’s made to be 40 by 75 cm but you can also easily customize this to be the size that you want. And they also glued on the pompoms and tassel trims which is great if you prefer to not have to sew them.
Another great make is this crafty boho rug by A Crafty Concept. This one is 58 inches diameter which is a pretty big size, and the perfect large make. It only uses basic stitches as well as a bit of increasing and the bobble stitch as well as the magic circle to start it off. I love the texture that this one has and if you want to really add to the boho vibe, you can also play with adding some really fun colors and different textured yarn as well.
The boho waves rug by Marching North is also a fun make. This one makes a good area rug size, but would be pretty easy to adjust the size as you like. Even though it only uses basic stitches to make I would say it is a bit more intermediate level to make because it does require a bit of sewing to finish it off, so I would say it would be good for that reason to be comfortable with some sewing. I also love the fringe they added on the ends of this piece to finish it off.
Boho Bunting by Yarnspirations, see the pattern here.
I also liked this boho bunting at Yarnspirations. This one is easy to create and measures 4 inches by 224 inches. To create it you make a total of 56 triangles but of course you can make more or less to adjust the length. This one would be perfect to use up your scrap yarns, and I love the pom poms on the end of the triangles as well, it really adds to that festive vibe.
Crochet Wall Hanging by Brunaticality, see the pattern here.
The crochet wall hanging by Brunaticality is also a fun one. I love the vibrant colors she chose here and love the texture in the flower, as well as the addition of the leaves, buttons, and beads. This one is a video tutorial on her channel as well if you love more visual tutorials, and it would be a perfect scrap yarn project as well.
Fringey Bunting by Yarnspiration, see the pattern here.
Or this fringey bunting by Yarnspirations. This pattern is designed to be 8 by 50 inches long and is made of 10 bunting motifs. This one is very easy to create, and I love that it has a macrame look to it, and it would also be easy to adjust the length of this one as well.
Accessories
Crochet Clutch by Lakeside Loops, see the pattern here.
First is the Evelyn crochet clutch by Lakeside Loops. It messes 12 by 7 inches tall and only uses basic stitches to create. And it’s created all in one piece and then assemble with slip stitches on the side and some tassels to finish it off. And I love the different color tassels, it really adds to that boho vibe and this one also has a helpful video tutorial on their blog.
This Caribbean boho bandana from MJ’s off the Hook is also a fun one. It’s easy to create, and the only special stitch is the cluster stitch or granny stitch which is three double crochet all worked into the same stitch and the shell stitch which is seven double crochet in the same stitch. It begins with the magic ring and is constructed in rows to form a triangle shape, and it can also be adjusted to keep creating that granny stitch motif until the bandana is the size that you like and there is also a video tutorial for this one as well.
This next one has more of a beachy boho vibe great pattern is this beachy head scarf by Fiber Flux. This one is very repetitive and easy to adjust the length as you like. Their piece is 21 inches long with 10 inches of fringe on the sides so it’s a nice dramatic piece. And I love that you can wear this piece as a headband or scarf and really like the beachy colorway they made it in.
Basic Boho Scarf by Jessie at Home, see the pattern here.
Another great piece is the boho scarf by Jessie at Home. This one is about 80 inches by 4 inches, so a nice skinny scarf, and is really simple and repetitive to make as well. It’s also worked up with bulky yarn so it’d work up quite quickly, and I also liked that they made the same design but as a knitting pattern as well which is great if you also knit.
Sunburst Bag by Day's Crochet, see the pattern here.
The Sunburst Granny Bag by Day’s Crochet is also a great one. This one is cool because it uses a canvas bag, then crochet the pattern and place it around the canvas bag then glue it to the canvas bag, and add a button and strap to finish it off. I love this as the use of the bag really gives it that polished finish without any sewing.
And this would be a great way to way to use up any yarn scraps that you have from other projects and make use of them while turning them into something functional, and this one is a video tutorial on their channel. 
Bandana Headscarf by Annie Design Crochet, see the pattern here.
I also liked this bandana headscarf by Annie Design Crochet. They created it using 15 granny squares and 6 granny triangles or half squares. The scarf measures 26 inches by 12 inches but you can easily customize it. And I loved the variegated look the yarn they used, it really adds to the patchwork and gives it that faded look and this one would be perfect for using up scrap yarns as well.
Blankets
Anthro Inspired Blanket by Knit a Bit Crochet Away, see the pattern here.
First is this Anthropologie inspired blanket by Knit a Bit Crochet Away. This blanket is 66 inches by 62 inches so it’s a great size. They wrote this pattern to be more like a recipe than a complete pattern, as they share instructions for each section of the blanket as well as helpful ways to join your work together.
So I’d say this one is more intermediate level or for the confident beginner. It includes instructions for a star patch, puff stitch flower, vertical lines, circle center granny square, multi colored flowers, daisy granny squares, and edging to finish it off. And I just love how eclectic and unique the patchwork on this design is.
Persuasion Throw by Yarnspirations, see the pattern here.
Another great blanket is this persuasion throw by Yarnspirations. It also has that patchwork style to it, and measures 50 inches by 62 inches. The special stitches that it uses are the beginning cluster and three treble cluster, and it is made of four different square motifs then finished off with a trim. They also have a helpful grid to show how they arranged them which is really great, and this one would also be fun if you want to use up all your scraps and prefer more traditional patterns to work from.
Boho Stripes Blanket by The Snugglery, see the pattern here.
I also loved this boho stripes blanket by The Snugglery. The special stitch required for this one is the linen stitch and is beginner friendly to create. The finished blanket measures 48 by 60 inches, and I loved the textured, zig zag stripes, and the tassel really gave it a polished look. This one also has a helpful video tutorial which is great if you are more visual.
As we Go Stripey Blanket by Not Your Average Crochet, see the pattern here.
Or make the As we Go Stripey Blanket by Not Your Average Crochet. This one is really easy to customize the size, and would also be a great design to use your yarn scraps with. This one is a beginner friendly as it only uses basic stitches, and I also loved the colors they made it with, and it has a lot of helpful pictures to help you with each step along the way.
Clothing
Boho Vibe Shawl by Yarnspirations, see the pattern here.
First up is this boho vibe shawl. It’s beginner-friendly, with the only special stitch being the picot. It's a generous size, measuring 72 inches across the top and 33.5 inches long (not including the fringe). It’s worked from the bottom up, then finished with a border and fringe. This V-shaped shawl makes a beautiful layering piece, and I love the lacy design on this one.
Catskills Cape by Yarnspirations, see the pattern here.
I also liked this Catskills Cape, this one has more of a hippie inspired vibe to it, but is definitely a great make if you love that more 1970s inspired look. Once complete it measures 48 inches by 11.5 inches, and it’s worked by the row then the edging is created with fringe and buttons to finish it off. I loved the colorway they made this one in as well!
Seabreeze Mesh Pants by Yarnspirations, see the pattern here.
This next one is the Seabreeze mesh wrap pants by Yarnspirations This one is more intermediate level to make and has sizes XS to 5XlL. The special stitches are the foundation single crochet, double crochet two and three together, and single crochet two together. The pants are worked in two halves, and are designed with generous ease with open side seams to allow for overlap which is great for a relaxed fit. I’ve been wanting to make a pair of mesh wrap pants like these for a while especially for beach days.
A great option is the Boho Fringe Top by Traverse Bay Crochet. It’s a bra-style top that’s quick and easy to make, with sizes ranging from A to D cup. I love the added tassels for that extra boho flair. You could also sew in a bra cup or crochet directly onto one, something I’ve seen a lot of crocheters doing lately, which is perfect if you want to keep sewing to a minimum.
Boho Tank Top by Hooked on Homemade Happiness, see the pattern here.
I also loved this boho tank top by Hooked on Homemade Happiness. This one is more intermediate to make because there is quite a bit of assembling, and this pattern only has one size. It fits a bust that is 36 inches, and was made using 7 granny squares but could easily be adjusted by either adding more rounds per square or making more squares. And the special stitches for this one are the treble two and three together as well as the foundation single crochet.
Lily of the Valley Skirt by Hannah Drapinski, see the pattern here.
This Lily of the Valley Skirt by Hannah Drapinski is also a fun one. It is customizable and she includes detailed instructions on how to customize it to fit you. It’s also beginner friendly and is a video tutorial on her channel. And I just love how asymmetrical this design is and how it’s really fun for layering with.
Boho Top by Beautiful Crochet Stuff, see the pattern here.
This boho top by Beautiful Crochet Stuff. This one is made using 16 squares, connecting them together and working a trim along the bottom and at the cuffs and then a crab stitches around the neckline. The piece is only one size for a small/medium, so you do have to adjust it by making the squares bigger or smaller and tinker with it at your own risk. But I loved the colorway that they used for this piece and how eclectic that it is.
Flowy Maxi Skirt by Hannah Drapinski, see the pattern here.
I also liked the flowy maxi skirt by Hannah Drapinski. To create it you work the waist band first then work from the top down. This one is easy to customize to specifically fit you, and I love how all the different textures of yarn that she used for this one, and it would also be a fun way to use up yarn scraps left over from other projects as well and would be even more boho if you had a lot of fun, eclectic colors.
Boho Mini Dress by Jenny and Teddy, see the pattern here.
Of course you can also embrace the boho vibe with a more neutral palette, like the boho mini dress by Jenny and Teddy. This dress has a nice relaxed fit with no shaping, but does feature a v neck, cold shoulder, and an open back with a tie strap which gives it some nice modern boho chic touches. It has sizes Small to 2XL, and this one has a lot of helpful pictures and guide on assembling it together, so it could be a great piece for a beginner who wants to take their skills to the next level for sure. 
Golden Hour Sun Dress by Originally Lovely, see the pattern here.
The next pattern is this golden hour sun dress by Originally Lovely. This one has sizes XS to 5X, and is designed to have 0 to 4 inches of ease in the bust. I love the flowy and lacy nature of this piece, and how it’s uniquely constructed by working the bodice flat before shaping the skirt in the round. I also like how they chose the double crochet stitches for the body, because they work up really quickly, and you can wear a slip underneath or layer for more coverage.
Riad Dress by Paintbox Yarns, see the pattern here.
The Riad Tassel Dress by Paintbox Yarns is also a great one. It has sizes XS to 3XL, and you start it with the back then the front, and join the shoulder and side seams, sleeves, then the neck edging, lower edging and finish it off with the tassels. And this one features bell sleeves, granny stitches, and I love the pop of colors with the tassels. It's available for free on the Love Crafts website.
Lace Boho Top by Make and Do Crew, see the pattern here.
I also like the lace boho crochet top by Make and Do Crew. It’s made with the open fan stitch and is a four row repeat using basic stitches, so once you’ve worked 4-8 rows you’ve got the hang of it. It has sizes Small to 3XL. And I love how lacy this one is, it’d be a great laying piece for the Summer.
Boho Pants by Circulo Yarns, see the pattern here.
Or I also love these Boho Pants by Circulo Yarns. I would say this one is more advanced and it only has one size which is a size 6. There is a chart that you mainly work from with this pattern though, although there is also written instructions, so if you are familiar with charts that would be good for this one, and then you could adjust it to your size as well.
Pineapple Lace Top by Melissa Bjerregaard, see the pattern here.
This Pineapple Lace Summer Top is also a great make. The special stitches used to make it were a variety of shell stitches. There are also tips on how to make it so that it has a custom fit. And this would also be a great top for Summer, and you could also make it with a bra cup as well for extra support.
Boho Fringe Cardigan by Circulo Yarn, see the pattern here.
Or make the boho fringe cardigan by Ciculo Yarns. There are sizes small to 3XL, the only special stitches are the front post double crochet and back post double crochet, and the body is made without side seams, work the sleeves, then work the sleeves and assemble it all together and work the fringe. This one would be perfect all year as well during cooler Summer nights or even layering with in colder water.
