Crochet Revival – May’s Thrifty Six

Happy new week! I hope you all had a great weekend. We watched the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday night – it was crazy and flamboyant as always! I can never predict the winner, other than it won’t be the UK!

Jane chose May’s Thrifty Six theme of Crochet Revival. Although it’s on trend this season, I have never really been into crochet clothing that much. I have a few crochet vest tops but I don’t think any of them are preloved. So, I set about looking on Vinted for a bag or cardigan that I would wear often, rather than just buying something for the purpose of this theme.

It’s a really useful extra layer for summer that elevates an outfit without making me too hot

At first, I found this green raffia bag that looks crocheted, but I couldn’t be sure. In any case, it’s a fab little bag for holidays and it was only £5. Then, I spotted this cardigan and I thought it would also be a great piece for holiday next month. In fact, I like it much more than I thought I would. It’s a really useful extra layer for summer that elevates an outfit without making me too hot. There’s no brand label in it so I’ve no idea where it came from.

I’ve layered it over this jumpsuit that I bought in Madeira a few years ago, which picks out the green in the crochet pattern. I could also wear it with fuchsia, bright blue or pale yellow, which is hard to see in the photos. The base colour is cream, so I chose neutral flat shoes, which create a leg lengthening effect.

“Bohemian classics like crochet really light my fire – this 1970’s vintage skirt was destroyed when I found it…

…I’ve reconstructed it from the waistband to the lining and even re-crocheted it in parts.

The top is also a 70’s piece although I feel its spirit is Edwardian.  Styled together I’ve created a crochet dress which sings to my boho soul…

My style crosses boundaries, I can’t put a name on it yet boho is the closest to my heart.”

“This crochet top was a hand-me-down from a friend, and I’ve worn it a ton. My crew and I are exploring ideas of what to wear UNDER your crochet, so I decided to wear a swimsuit top under it. The skirt was a recent find that I thrifted for only $2.  I felt very Mod Men for some reason, LOL”

“I have a few crochet pieces but none were preloved so I went on a little thrifting adventure and found this adorable olive green crochet pullover sweater. I wore it with a hand-me-down skirt from Daenel and my thrifted moccasins. Now I want to get all my crochet things out and wear them!”

 

Sally of Within a World of My Own

“Since crochet is a perennial summer staple, I have several crochet-style layering pieces in my wardrobe that come out every year when the weather warms up.  But it’s delightful that summer 2025 is seeing a Crochet Revival that puts this boho summer favorite in the trend spotlight.  And it’s a very easy trend to buy second hand!  You can definitely go all-in with a boho chic look, but crochet elements can be used more sparingly to add a hint of laid-back boho vibes to other aesthetics too.  I kept my styling of a dark blue-grey short-sleeved open weave cotton crochet cardigan (thrifted back in 2015!) on the classic feminine side with an A line skirt, old-school captoe flats, and a vintage bulky pearl and chain necklace (all thrifted).”  

Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style

“So I knew, somewhere in the back of my mind, that I had a photo with something crochet. I thought it was a top, but I could only find this dress. I received it from someone, can’t even remember from who, like ten years ago or so. And although I do love the look, it’s not me. Crochet is somewhat to hippy for me. It does not suit me. And of course the colour isn’t doing anything for me at all. I also can’t remember wearing this dress, so this must have been the only time.”

Do you love the crochet revival trend? Have you got any crocheted pieces…do you crochet? It’s something I want to learn!
