Rosy mesh crochet sweater top.

Sharing is caring!

Summer is here! It’s obviously no secret that I am obsessed with crocheting a mesh top or a sweater top, especially the long-sleeved one.

This crochet mesh sweater top is great for any season, whether it is hot weather or fall season because you will have fun layering them to match your outfit.

This crochet mesh top with long sleeves is easily made from 4 rectangles with a relaxed fit, and you can make this top in any size they are made by measuring.

Crochet this mesh top in any size.

This mesh sweater is made to measure by measuring your 3 points.

1. measure your shoulder to shoulder+3 inches=…..: This measurement will be the width of your front and back panel; for example, my shoulder-to-shoulder measurement is 16 inches. and we want this mesh top to be a relaxed fit, so if we add 3 inches to the total, we will have 19 inches for your foundation chain.
2. Measure your armhole to create the sleeves: for example, my measurement for my armhole for relaxed fit is about 8 inches; when we crocheting the sleeves, the foundation chain is the length of your sleeves, whether u want it long or short, then add more rows to make your sleeves bigger to archives your armhole measurement.
3. the measure of body: this measurement will be the length of your sweater top, whether you want it long or short; as a crop top, just add more rows.

The Rosy mesh crochet sweater pattern instruction.

The back & front panel makes 2 pieces.

The measurement of one rectangle.

• The length is 16 inches. You can make it longer or shorter by adding more rows.
• 19 inches wide, it fits bust size 30-38 inches. Add more chains in the set of 3+2 until you reach your shoulder measurement.

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 66+2 = 68 chains  for the length 19 inches wide of the sweater. start a foundation chain in multiples of 3+2.

After you get the foundation chain then,

Row1: make dc in each chain across, ch2 and turn

Row2: make dc in each chain across, ch3 and turn

Row3: start on crochet V-stitch treble crochet by first st then tr,ch1,tr in same st, then ( sk2 st, then make tr,ch1,tr in the next st) repeat this ( to ) until the end of row, ch2 and turn.

Row4: make (1 puff st in chain 1 space between the v stitch from the previous row then ch1 to finished of the puff st and chain 2 between each puff st) repeat this (to) until the end of the row, ch2 and turn.

Row5 and more: if you see chain 2 between each puff st make 2dc and on top of puff st make 1dc now repeat row 1-4 until you get the length of your sweater top for crop length or full length.

Crocheting the long sleeves.

Pick up a crochet hook size 4.0 mm and Start off by making a slip knot.

Then make 54+2 chains  for the length 17 inches of the sleeves. start a foundation chain in multiples of 3+2.

Then, repeat rows 1-4 of the front and back panels until you get the desired width of the armhole.

Assemble mesh top.

Create the shoulder by sewing: Use the measuring tape to measure 5-6 inches forward from the end of the mesh top on both side then place stitch marker to secure the positon, the open neck with be around 8-10 inch: feel free to adjust the length of the shoulder.

After we finish with the seam both side of the shoulder, now we are going to lay the front and the back panel flatted, then attached the 2 sleeves and sew along the rest of the mesh top.

All done happy crocheting.
