Tip:

Experiment with different yarn types to find the perfect summer-friendly texture!

Starting with the Front and Back Piece:

Create a slip knot and chain 66 to form the foundation chain.

1. For the first row, add one more chain, then do half double crochets through the second chain from the hook, and continue with half double crochets in each chain (ending with 66 half double crochets).
2. For the second row, start with a chain of three (counts as the first double crochet), turn your work, and begin the mesh stitch pattern with double crochet and chain one. Skip the first stitch and go into the second one, and continue this pattern until the end of the row.
3. Alternate between black and white yarn, using various crochet stitches such as single crochet and double crochet to form the pattern you desire.

Connecting Front and Back Pieces:

Once you have two squares of equal size (as long as desired from neck to waist), lay them on top of each other with right sides facing each other.

1. Begin connecting on one shoulder by using a connecting stitch such as slip stitch, sewing, or your preferred method. Connect approximately 17-18 cm, then secure and cut the yarn, leaving it loose enough to open if needed.
2. Repeat the same for the second shoulder.
3. To connect the sides, start from the bottom edge and stop where the sleeve should start, leaving about 20-25 cm unworked for the armhole.

Working on the Sleeves:

1. Using the leftover yarn, continue around the armhole with half double crochets, adjusting the number of stitches as needed to accommodate pattern changes with different stitches like double or triple crochets in the squares.
2. Connect at the end of the round with a slip stitch, and chain the number of stitches for the stitch you will use the following row.

Finishing Touches:

1. Continue working the sleeves to the desired length, attaching new yarn colors and switching stitches as preferred, keeping consistent with the design established in the body or introducing new patterns.
2. Once the sleeves reach the desired length, finish off.
3. Optionally, you can add brand labels or any other embellishment you like.

Few Important Tips:

• Make sure to try on the piece after connecting the shoulder parts to ensure the head opening is comfortable.
• When deciding where the sleeves should start, put on the piece and place markers where you want the armholes to begin.
• The instructional video likely shows specific stitching techniques for each row, so refer to the actual video to see the detailed execution.
