Apricot Bobble Crop Top and Bloomers: Free Crochet Pattern

CompatNest: Cozy Knits & Yarn Haven • October 29, 2026

Introduction

This sweet little set is made for teens who love a soft, fairycore look they can lounge in or wear out. The cropped top has a single row of puffy bobbles just under the bust and simple straps, while the bloomers have a loose, puffed silhouette with a ribbed waist and bobble rows at the leg cuffs. Worked in worsted acrylic, it feels light and squishy against the skin and washes up easily. The peach and apricot stripes give it a warm, peachy glow that's perfect for spring and summer.

Materials Needed

Yarn: Worsted weight acrylic, 4 oz/113 g, 200 yd/183 m per skein. 2 skeins in peach (A) and 2 skeins in apricot (B).
Hook: 5.0 mm (H-8) crochet hook.
Notions: Tapestry needle, scissors, stitch markers, tape measure.
Finished size: Top fits bust 30–32 inches, length 12 inches. Bloomers fit hips 32–34 inches, waist 24–26 inches, inseam 3 inches.

Abbreviations

ch – chain
sc – single crochet
sk – skip
st(s) – stitch(es)
rep – repeat
bobble – bobble stitch: yarn over, insert hook in next st, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops; repeat this 4 more times in the same st (6 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all loops at once, then ch 1 to close.

Gauge

16 sts and 16 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in single crochet. Work a small swatch in sc, measure a 4-inch square, and adjust your hook size if you have more or fewer stitches than 16.

Tips Before You Start

Keep your bobbles on the wrong side of the fabric so they pop out on the right side; the ch 1 after each bobble keeps the stitch count steady.
Count your stitches at the end of every row — both pieces stay at 60 sts throughout, so any drift is easy to catch early.
Carry the unused color up the side edge rather than cutting it each time; the side seam hides the floats.
Try the top on (or measure against a tee) before seaming so you can adjust the strap placement.

Assembly and Finishing

Fold the top panel in half with right sides together and sew the short side edges together to form a tube, leaving the armholes open. Sew one strap end to the front edge and the other to the back edge on each side, positioning them to sit comfortably on the shoulders. Fold the bloomer panel in half with right sides together and sew the short side edges, stopping about 3 inches from the bottom on each side to leave leg openings; sew the inner leg edges to close the inseam. Weave in all ends. Block both pieces lightly by misting with water and patting flat to dry, which helps the bobbles pop and evens out the stripes.

Pro Tips and Variations

Swap the stripes for a single color and add a contrast bobble row in a third shade for a bolder look.
Make the top longer by adding extra plain sc rows before the bobble band for a tunic-length version.
Thread a thin elastic or crochet a chain drawstring through the waistband for a snugger, adjustable fit.
