Materials Needed:
- Yarn: 50% acrylic 50% wool, DK weight (approx. 3 skeins per color – green, beige, and brown)
- Crochet hook: 8 mm (size up two sizes from the recommended on the yarn label)
- Tapestry needle (for sewing and weaving in ends)
- Scissors
- Tape measure
- Stitch markers (optional)
Pattern Overview:
Measure Bust Size: Measure your bust and divide by two to determine the width for the back and front panels of the top.
Starting Chain: Make a slip knot and chain a multiple of 5 + 4 (44 in the example) to the desired width, which should be 9.5 – 10 cm smaller than the actual size needed before stretching.
First Row: Skip the first chain and work one single crochet into each chain.
Mesh Stitch Row:
Chain 1 and turn.
- Work one double crochet into the very first stitch and one double crochet into the next two stitches.
- Chain 2, skip two base chains, work one double crochet into the next three stitches.
- Repeat across, ending with three double crochets.
Subsequent Rows: Follow the established mesh stitch pattern. Change colors as desired.
Panel Length: Continue until you’ve reached the desired length for the panel.
Mirror Panel: Make another panel exactly the same for the front or back.
Sleeves: To create sleeves, consider the size of the armhole needed and make additional panels following the same pattern as the body.
Construction:
Shoulders and Armholes: Decide where you want the shoulders and armholes. Place stitch markers before trying on the project to adjust the fit.
- Sewing Panels Together: Sew the shoulders together using yarn ends. Repeat for the sleeves, matching the raw edge of the sides with the stitches of the sleeves.
- Side Seams: Fold the top in half and match up the front and back panels. Sew along the inner parts to create side seams.
Final Touches:
- Weave in all ends.
- Optionally, crochet edge finishing if desired.
Notes:
- The row count for the color changes and overall length may vary depending on your size and preferred fit.
