Crochet and Boho Style: A Match Handmade in Heaven

 

If you’ve ever found yourself swooning over tassels, vintage textures, and earthy vibes, chances are you’ve already fallen in love with boho style. And if you’re a fiber artist like me, you’ve probably noticed something else: crochet and boho are a match made in handmade heaven. 

Whether you're dressing up in your favorite breezy top or giving your space a relaxed, artistic flair, crochet fits seamlessly into every corner of boho living. Let’s explore all the ways this craft enhances the bohemian aesthetic, from what we wear to how we decorate.

Crochet in Boho Fashion

Boho style is all about freedom of expression, layered textures, and a mix of vintage and modern influences and crochet delivers all that with a handmade twist.

1. Lacy Layers

Open, airy stitches add that ethereal, light-as-air quality boho fashion is known for. Think:

  • Crocheted kimonos

  • Summer tops

  • Breezy tunics

They’re perfect for layering over a flowy dress or tank top and instantly add that “I just walked out of a desert music festival” vibe.

2. Fringe and Tassels

Boho style loves a good tassel and guess what? Crochet makes it easy to add fringe to shawls, bags, ponchos, and more. It’s like adding a little freedom and movement to every step you take.

3. Natural Fibers and Earth Tones

Cotton, linen, bamboo natural yarns in warm neutrals, rusts, olives, and mustards scream boho. They feel soft against the skin and pair beautifully with chunky jewelry, leather, or layered macramé pieces.


4. Crochet Accessories

Don’t sleep on the power of a good crochet hat, bag, or even barefoot sandals. These handmade touches give your outfit personality and that intentional, curated feel that boho fashion is known for.

Crochet in Boho Home Decor


Boho home decor is a playground for fiber artists. With its love for textures, vintage finds, and handcrafted details, the possibilities for crochet are endless.

1. Wall Hangings and Mandalas

Crochet wall art especially round mandalas or vintage owl hangings, adds instant charm and texture to any boho space. Bonus: You can use vintage patterns or make your own unique twist.


2. Throw Blankets and Pillows

Layered textiles are a hallmark of boho decor. A handmade crochet throw tossed over the back of a chair or a textured pillow on a rattan couch gives your space soul and serious style.

3. Plant Hangers

Macramé gets a lot of love, but did you know you can crochet plant hangers too? Whether minimal or colorful, they’re the perfect way to elevate your greenery with a handmade touch.

4. Baskets and Storage

Crochet storage bins and hanging pockets keep your space organized while adding visual interest. Use jute or raffia-style yarn for a natural, earthy look — or go bold with color for a more eclectic vibe.

Why Crochet and Boho Just Work

Both crochet and boho style celebrate individuality, creativity, and a love for all things handmade. There are no hard rules, just room to explore textures, patterns, and expression. Whether you're upcycling vintage yarn or creating something brand new, you're adding to a story. Your story.

Crochet lets you create one-of-a-kind pieces that don’t just look beautiful, they feel like you. And in a world of fast fashion and mass-produced decor, that’s a powerful thing.

    How I Modified A Hexagon Cardi for Mid & Plus Size

    Hexagon Cardigan Modifications Hey yarn lovers! If you're a midsize or plus-size crocheter looking for ways to customize your hexagon cardigan for a more flattering and comfortable fit, I’ve got some great tips for you. I recently finished my second hexagon cardi and made a few modifications that helped me feel more confident wearing it. Here’s what I learned! The Inspiration Behind My Second Hexagon Cardi A while back, I made a basic hexagon cardigan using Red Heart Super Saver yarn. While I loved the pattern and even won a blue ribbon at my county fair, I wasn’t sure I would actually wear it. It felt a bit too boxy and oversized for my liking. This time, I decided to use Herrschners Witches Brew yarn for a fun Halloween-inspired version. Get the yarn HERE . Since I wanted to ensure I would love wearing it, I made a few tweaks to improve the fit and feel. Key Modifications for a Better Fit 1. Adjusting the Shoulder Fit Instead of making the panels overly large, I measured my sho...
