Product Description
Daenerys Targaryen is my favorite character in Game of Thrones, both in the books and on the show! She is beautiful, of course, but also incredibly tough, resourceful, intelligent, and witty. Plus, there’s the whole dragon thing. Who wouldn’t want to be Daenerys? One of my favorite outfits she wears is the blue dress/coat in the scene where she buys the Unsullied, among others (see a picture [here][1]).
Of course, such a dress is completely incompatible with day-to-day modern life. Deborah Norville Serenity Garden yarn in the color Twilight immediately reminded me of the blues Daenerys favors, along with the brown and black she often wears as a Khaleesi.

Khaleesi Tank Top: Game of Thrones-Inspired Daenerys Crochet Pattern
What Is Being Made
The Khaleesi Tank Top is a crochet garment inspired by Daenerys Targaryen's iconic blue dress from Game of Thrones. This intermediate-level tank top features design elements that echo the character's regal costume, including a distinctive wide, upside-down teardrop neckline, minimal sleeves, and strategic lace panels. The design captures the elegance and flowing silhouette of the Khaleesi's wardrobe while adapting it into a wearable modern tank top suitable for everyday wear.
Design Features and Construction
This crochet tank top incorporates several sophisticated design elements that reference the Game of Thrones costume inspiration. The garment showcases a dramatic wide, upside-down teardrop neckline that serves as a focal point, paired with barely-there sleeves for a delicate, feminine appearance. A lace back panel mimics the cutout details seen on the original costume, while small panels of flowing lace positioned at the sides add movement and visual interest to the silhouette. These design choices combine to create a garment that balances elegance with wearability.
Crochet Techniques and Stitches
This intermediate-level crochet project employs lace-work techniques to achieve its sophisticated aesthetic. The pattern utilizes lace stitches throughout, particularly in the back panel and side panels, creating an open, airy fabric that allows for breathability while maintaining structural integrity. The construction method involves shaping the neckline through strategic increases and decreases to form the distinctive teardrop shape, while the side panels are integrated to provide both visual appeal and garment structure.
Materials
- Yarn: Deborah Norville Serenity Garden yarn in the color Twilight, chosen for its blue tones that evoke the Khaleesi's signature color palette
