Oversized Mesh Stitch Top

❗️ Free tutorial for size S + the best price & more always on my website: https://loopsonly.com/products/oversized-mesh-stitch-top I used a single crochet mesh stitch and puff stitch combined to make a modern, cozy cropped top for spring and summer! The top is made of the back and front panels and has two pockets from the body sides. If you prefer the top without the pockets, no problem, just don`t make them. You can also adjust the length of the top by adding or removing the rows. **Materials** YARN: DROPS LOVES YOU 9, yarn group A, color 105 XS: 600g/22oz; 1500m/1632yds S: 700g/25oz; 1750m/1904yds M: 800g/29oz; 2000m/2176yds L: 1000g/36oz; 2500m/2720yds XL: 1150g/41oz; 2875m/3128yds XXL: 1300g/47oz; 3250m/3536yds Hook: 4 mm/G-6 Yarn Needle, Scissors, Measuring Tape **Gauge** 24 sts and 20 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inch) Make a sample: ch 30 Row 1: sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, ch 1, sk 1, *sc, ch 1, sk 1* continue across and make a sc in the last ch.

One increase goes in the front loop of the stitch and the second goes in the back loop of the same stitch. You make a sc in the front loop of the sc and ch1 , sc in the back loop of the same sc and ch1. PUFF STITCH *YO, insert your hook and pull up a loop. Repeat from * 3 more times, inserting your hook into the same space, YO and pull through all loops. **Notes** The top is made of two panels (front and back). If you want the top to be longer just add rows to the front and back panel. It's crocheted from top to bottom. I recommend you watch my YouTube tutorial if there are any uncertainties, especially with assembling.
