Can’t imagine wearing anything crocheted during the hot summer months? Openwork crochet patterns are a perfect choice for summer crafting, leaving room between the stitches for fresh air to filter through. Plus, there are so many different types of openwork crochet to choose from, including vintage-inspired lace designs, graphic mesh patterns and expansive stitches like the Solomon’s Knot. Here are 10 openwork patterns to enjoy in the warmer weather.

Lover’s/ Solomon’s Knot Wrap-Tie
Solomon’s Knot, also known as Lover’s Knot, is a fun openwork crochet stitch. It is made by building upon basic crochet skills and pulling standard stitches up into taller, more open designs. The spaces created may be small or large. This crochet wrap-tie top has large openwork Solomon’s Knots for a breezy, lacy feeling.

Semi Chevron Crochet Scarf
This simple crochet scarf pattern uses only the basic crochet stitches (chain stitches, single crochet and double crochet), but they are worked to create a pattern you’ve probably never quite seen before. In particular, the chain stitches are aligned so that they create an open and airy design.

Solomon Stitch Poncho
This crochet poncho pattern is unique because it uses bulky weight yarn and yet it’s an openwork design. The contrast of a thick yarn with a lacy design is certainly intriguing. It’s worked with a large hook, so it crochets up quickly.
