Crochet Mesh Cover Top on tank tops, t-shirts, dresses or swimsuits

2024-05-24

Hello everyone! Wishing you all a lovely day!

We're enjoying beautiful sunny days here, and I'm loving every moment of crocheting various blouses and tops. I often layer such tops, filled with charming little holes, over tank tops or T-shirts, dresses, or swimsuits. Today, I'm excited to share a quick and easy top pattern with you all. It's so simple that even beginners can master it in just one afternoon!

Give this delightful mesh v-stitch pattern, crafted from double crochets and chain stitches, a try. The top is crocheted from side to side, leaving space for the neckline in the center. With a straight cut, you have the freedom to crochet it longer for a tunic-style or shorter for a trendy crop top. Adjust the width to your liking, whether you prefer a snug fit or a loose silhouette.

I recently crocheted this top using the new Sisi yarn, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Sisi yarn boasts a unique, eye-catching texture that adds elegance and style to any garment.

Once you've completed the first two rows, crocheting becomes a breeze, and you'll find yourself racing to finish the top!

This versatile top can be worn year-round, and it's suitable for crocheters of any skill level and any size. What's more, it's incredibly customizable—adapt it to your measurements and personal style with ease. Even if you're new to crocheting, you'll find this project irresistible! So, are you ready to start crocheting together?

PATTERN NOTES

1)This Crocheted MESH TOP is designed in women's size M as a top with a classic cut, perfect for wearing over a T-shirt or tank top.

2)The mesh top is crocheted in a simple rectangle style from side to side, allowing you to try on the fit as you crochet and adjust the size accordingly.

3)The instructions use chain stitches and double crochets to create a simple v-stitch pattern. If you're new to crocheting mesh tops, you'll find this pattern easy to follow.

4)While the tutorial demonstrates a classic fit, you can easily achieve a body fit style by crocheting a size down. Additionally, you can adjust the length of the top by crocheting more chains when you start a foundation chain, you can also adjust the width of the top by crocheting more rows on the "body" section.

5) A Ch 3 at beg of the row doesn't count as a stitch, start every row with ch3 

6)This top is crocheted in rows back and forth. I start the row with the 3 chains at beg and it ends with a "v-stitch" into a "v-stich". Turn your work after completing each row.

7) The TOP measures:
front panel and back panel (the same size)
length: 43 cm / width 47 cm

neckline: 19 cm
armhole: 19 cm
*Measurements are taken from the garment lying flat, before the yarn has stretched out/dropped.

CONSTRUCTION

How to crochet this mesh top:
This top is worked seamlessly as a one piece from the side to side, in a classic - rectangle - style.
I really love this type of construction, the size is super easy to adjust!

One of the great things about rectangle crochet mesh top is that you can try them on as you go and adjust the size to your liking. This type of construction is perfect for beginners looking to try simple patterns.
