back panel for crochet opeen mesh  top.

The measurement of one rectangle for the back panel.

First step.

Let’s measure your bust size and then divide by 2, for example, my bust size is 32/2.

So I will get 16 inches for my size. Feel free to add more inches for a loose-fitting or perfect fit.

For example, if I will add one more inch for loose fitting for my top. 

If you girl wants your mesh top to be loose fitting, just add 2 more inches for your bust after diving by 2, or if you want an oversize top add 4 more inches.

See the video tutorial for how to make them into your size.

Second step.

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

Then make 70 chains for size small and medium fit from bust size 30-34.

( For the other sizes, start the foundation chain in any number that matches your bust size calculation)

Row 1: * in the next chain from the hook, make dc, then * ch1, skip 1 chain and make dc in the next chain * repeat this * to * across until the end of the row, ch 2, and turn.

Row 2:  make dc in the same st then * ch1, skip chain space from the previous row, then dc in the next st* repeat this* to * and across until the end of the row. Chain 2 and turn.

Repeat row 2 until you get around 16 inches long or longer if you prefer to make to be a swimsuit cover-up or shorter for a crop style. Then fasten off and leave the long tail for sewing.

Repeat the same as you did in the back panel until you get the length around 13 inches long.

Then fasten off, and then we will start to make the V-neck ling for the front panel.

Hi, Love this pattern but I´m a little bit stuck here. How did you figure out 70 stitches from your calculations. My bust is 42/2 plus 2 inches makes 23. How do I figure out the number of chains to make. I´m really confused as a beginner.

Hi :)

Lovely pattern. I have just finished the back panel.

I would like to make the vneck deeper. Would that mean I need to start the vneck part at about 12 inches instead?

Thank you Bethany

This is my all time favourite stitch! I love using this stitch to make summer blankets for my grandkids! The youngest is 3 and he loves to put his fingers in the open squares. Thank you for showing me another way to use this stitch in a different project!
