Truboo yarn crochet patterns that show off this yarn best
Truboo is a unique yarn whose hallmark is softness and drape. These truboo yarn crochet patterns showcase the yarn as its best.
The stitches, style, and wearability are all considered so that you can maximize the best attributes of this elegant summer weight rayon bamboo yarn. It is a fantastic choice for warm-weather garments because it allows you to keep cool while being big on handmade style.
Cotton yarn often takes the spotlight when people consider making summer garments but to me, truboo yarn really stands out as a top choice because of whisper light feel. Cotton can get quite heavy, and while durable and easy to work with, Truboo yarn will give your project a better drape, a more elegant look and a gentle sheen thanks to the rayon bamboo fiber.

A look at truboo yarn colors
Lion brand has expanded the color selection of this beautiful yarn since launching it. A dizzying array of spring and summer-friendly shades: neutrals, brights, bolds so there is a color for every project you can imagine. I even mixed two colors in two of my projects in this post.
If you liked Nuboo yarn, now discontinued, you will find those shades with the same type of drape in this truboo yarn.
I also have designed patterns with it to prevent sag and losing shape but still get the elegant drape that bamboo yarn does best. Some of them are featured in this collection.
A caveat of working with this yarn, it can droop if the stitches aren’t planned out correctly. I have made many items with this yarn and I do love it.
I go over the pros and cons in this truboo yarn review.
Here are some great truboo yarn crochet patterns suited to this gorgeous sophisticated yarn.
Crochet Summer Poncho pattern
The Costa del Sol crochet poncho pattern is so luxe feeling you will live in it all summer! Three sizes, two lengths. Beginner-friendly stitches and well suited to an experienced beginner or higher.

It is so luxe feeling to drape yourself in this elegant soft yarn. You will feel like a million bucks! I found myself reaching for it day and night in the summer months over jeans, leggings and a quick swim cover up.

Crochet Mesh Tunic using Truboo yarn
This pattern is designed to prevent droop while giving an open airy feel. Often times lacy looking stitches are prone to drooping with silky yarns but this design prevents that.
This pattern is available in 5 sizes 32″-54″ chest measurement
A side vent is worked in so it doesn’t bunch around the hips when sitting.
You can enjoy the soft feel of the bamboo yarn against your skin with a garment that holds its shape beautifully.

A crochet cape using truboo yarn
This design is a versatile garment topper that you will get a lot of use from. It’s a hybrid of a cardigan and ruana.

This is something you can reach for when the air conditioner feels cool on your shoulders, temp changes when traveling on airplanes and when in movie theaters for all those summer blockbusters.

Crochet truboo tank top pattern
While the stitches in this pattern are meant to have some drape, the straps will hold fast and not droop. The drapey stitch pattern will show curves tastefully and if you choose to make a two-tone tank as shown is even more eye catching.
Try it as a crop, mid length or more of a tunic as shown here. It is a a bit of hybrid between a regular neck and halter to give a fresh modern look.
Shown is truboo yarn in slate and silver. The orange tank is made with coboo yarn (a cotton bamboo blend) in orange.
Pattern sizes to fit 32″ – 46″
