Crochet Beachy Mesh Top

Available in a diverse range of vibrant hues and soft pastels, this beachy top caters to various tastes and complements all skin tones. Crafted with attention to detail, each stitch contributes to the overall elegance and unique charm of this must-have summer staple.

Tip:

Use a lightweight, cotton-blend yarn for a soft and breathable finish.

Materials:

• Crochet hook (3.5mm)
• Size 3 yarn
• Stitch markers
• Scissors
• Darning needle

Pattern:

Start:

• Make a slip knot. Begin with a foundation chain row using half double crochet stitches.

Foundation Row:

• Chain 2, then perform a foundation half double crochet:
• Yarn over, insert the hook into the first loop, pull through.
• Yarn over, pull through only the first loop on the hook, then pull through all three loops.
• Continue along, creating a chain that goes about 7/8 around your body.

Establish the Body:

• Chain 1, turn your work.
• Perform half double crochets all across the row.

Create the Mesh:

• Chain 3 (counts as double crochet and chain 1).
• Skip the first stitch and double crochet into the next stitch.
• Chain 1, skip a stitch, then double crochet.
• Repeat this pattern to the end of the row.
• For the next rows, replicate the mesh pattern:
• Chain 3, turn your work.
• Skip the first double crochet, double crochet into the next.
• Alternate with chain 1s and continue the mesh pattern until you reach the desired length of the body.

Chest Coverage:

• Once the mesh body is completed to your taste, chain 1 and turn your work.
• Perform half double crochets in each stitch across, focusing on covering the chest area adequately.
• Continue with half double crochets until the chest coverage meets your satisfaction.

Creating Holes for Laces:

• For the upper solid part where the chest is covered, replicate the hole pattern found in the mesh by working double crochets around every other row, ensuring the spaces have a similar width to those in the mesh section.

Finishing Edges:

• Chain and slip stitch to close the work on both sides symmetrically.

Adding the String:

• Count stitches to find the midpoint at the top portion of the crochet top.
• Crochet a chain long enough to cinch at this midpoint, creating a gathered effect.
• Weave this chain through the top, securing with a darning needle.

Creating the Lacing/Cord:

• Crochet a very long chain (longer than you think you need).
• Slip stitch back along this chain to add strength and thickness.
• Fasten off, then weave through the sides of the mesh part of the top to create a corset effect.

Adding Straps:

• Determine the placement of your straps, mark with stitch markers.
• Attach yarn and chain to the desired length of the straps.
• Attach to the opposite side in a similar spot to create the first strap. Repeat for the second strap.

Finishing Touches:

• Weave in any loose ends with a darning needle.
• Adjust the lacing and straps as necessary for fit.
