You never forget your first crochet garment — we said it and wrote it in the previous episode, where we prepared for you a guide to always keep at hand, recalling lacy tank tops, crop tops, Coachella-style vests and breezy cardigans to wear even in the evening. In 2025, the keyword is crochet pants. And no, they’re not the usual pants.

We’re talking about crochet pants, the absolute stars of the catwalks, Instagram feeds and, above all, suitcases already packed for vacation. From long flared styles to show off over your swimsuit to tiny beach shorts, there’s only one rule: they must be crocheted.

The real fashion is handmade

Fashion says it, but so does the community working with yarns in every corner of the web. Some fall in love with designer pieces — Jacquemus, Missoni, Etro and others have already succumbed to the crochet charm — and others choose the boldest and most rewarding path: "I made it myself" is the new cool answer to "Where did you get that?". And trust us, no fast fashion piece can beat the thrill of creating something with your own hands.

Comfy, breezy, and with that wow effect

Whether they’re bell-bottoms, culottes, wide-leg, or shorts, crochet pants work because they combine comfort and personality. Lightweight, airy, ideal even in high temperatures. And they adapt to anything: just switch the yarn and stitch to turn them from a beach outfit into a chic aperitif look.

Want to make them yourself? Here are some crochet projects to try.

Flora Pants

The palazzo pants are among the most beloved models ever. Do you know why? Because they suit every body type, meaning everyone can wear them. In this tutorial, we’ll see how to make a palazzo pant using only crochet granny squares.

Flora palazzo pants are built entirely with openwork granny squares, giving the garment a unique and special vibe. What we love about this video is how it shows you to shape the crotch area using the squares. The technique is simple and can be adapted to any type of square you choose. So, if you go for a tighter motif for a winter version of the pants, the construction method remains the same.

To make it:

• 500g DRAKE BLACK
• CROCHET HOOK 3.5
• 25 CM ZIP
• DRAKE BLACK crochet hook ZIP
