About this pattern

Crocheted clothes can feel like a big leap, so start with the one that's basically a forgiving rectangle. This mesh top is open chains and simple stitches with very little shaping, which makes it almost impossible to get badly wrong, exactly what you want from a first wearable. Thrown over a swimsuit or a tank it looks like you made an effort you didn't really have to. The free PDF has the written US-term pattern, a size range, and photos. Go chunky for a cosy festival layer, or pick a cotton blend for something lighter in summer. Bonus: the open weave quietly forgives the slightly uneven tension that first garments tend to have.
