Hi friends, I have a super easy crochet mesh sleeves-style top or a beginner-friendly bolero shrug tutorial that you girls can crochet and enjoy making in any size that suits your body shape.
The fishnet crochet sleeves can be made into full-size mesh tops by just adding more rows to the front and back panels.
You won’t believe that these mesh sleeves are so quick to make you could finish this sleeves top in just one weekend. Let’s get into it, shall we?
Materials need for crocheting mesh sleeves.
Note: You can use any yarn fiber and crochet hook size you desire.
In this example,.
- Yarn: I use Lion brand yarn Truboo weight 3 light/DK weight, or you can substitute from 4 medium. Truboo each skein is 100 grams 220 m/241 yards, in pink.
- Overall, I use around nearly 2 skeins at 480 yards.
- The example size is small to medium: fit 30-32 inches bust, used around 480 yards.
- Crochet hook: size 4.0 mm
- Stitch marker: 4
- Measuring tape
This mesh sleeve is made to measure by measuring your 2 points.
- measure your shoulder to shoulder….. inches=…..: This measurement will be the width of your front and back panel; for example, my shoulder-to-shoulder measurement is 16 inches.
- Measure your armhole to create the sleeves: for example, my measurement for my armhole for a relaxed fit is about 7 inches.

A simple crochet mesh sleeves step-by-step video tutorial is available on youtube.
The Rosey mesh crochet sleeves pattern instruction.
The back & front panel makes 2 pieces.
The measurement of one rectangle.
- The length is 16 inches. You can make it bigger or smaller by adding chain to the foundation chain.
First, let’s start with the foundation chain; it is the length of your shoulder measurement.
Start a foundation chain.
Pick up a crochet hook size 4.0 mm and Start off by making a slip knot.
Then make 56 chains or the length 16 inches wide of the shoulder. start a foundation chain in any number.
After you get the foundation chain then,
Row1: make sc in each chain across, ch2 and turn
Row2: make dc in same stitch, then ( chain1,sk1 ,dc in the next st) repeat this (*) each stitch across, ch2 and turn
Row 3: dc in same st, then ( chain1,sk1,dc the dc st from the previous row.) repeat this (*) until the end of row.
Row 4 and more. repeat row 2 until you get your desired length.
Crocheting the long sleeves.
Use the stitch marker to secure the position of the armhole, then join new yarn at one end of the armhole then start to crocheting round1.
Round1. make sc in Each Stitches and in each space around the armhole; you can make 2 dc in some space if u think the space is big. At the end of the round, you should count this round because we want to do exactly the same for the other armhole so u will have the same size of the armhole. At the en dof round join the round then chain2 to start round2.
Round2. dc in the same stitch, then (chain 1, sk1, dc in the next st) repeat this across until the end of the round; at this round, we do not join round. We will work in a spiral from this round and beyond.
Round3. ( make dc on top of dc from the previous round, then chain1,sk1) repeat this (*) around until the end and we will repeat round 3 until we got your desired length of the sleeves.
The lenght f my mesh sleeves is about 13-15 inches long.
After you got one side of the sleeves done then we will repeat the same process for the other side of the sleeves.
All done.
I hope you enjoy this easy fishnet sleeves.
