This crochet pattern is in English.

The Monica Mesh Top is a tight-fitting, long-sleeved top that is great for layering, and using as a swimsuit cover-up. I’ve seen lots of mesh tops floating around the crochet and knit world online, but I haven’t seen any that use this particular stitch which I think gives the top a very intricate look. The construction of this top is pretty simple: it’s just a tube with sleeves, which makes the design very customizable. You could even make a dress with this pattern, or you can make a top with short sleeves or no sleeves at all - the possibilities are truly endless! There are many reasons to love this top, among them is that it has very minimal seaming involved. Also, because this top has such an open stitch pattern, it works up in no time and is lots of fun to make. This pattern also features a tester look book to stir inspiration and so that you can see all the different versions of this design. You can also see them on my Instagram account @cosmaudi.

SIZING
This pattern comes with instructions for 9 sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). The sizes are meant to fit a chest circumference of 28-30 (32-34, 36-38, 40-42, 44-46, 48-50, 52-54, 56-58, 60-62) in 71-76, 81-86, 91.5-96.5, 101.5-106.5, 111.5-117, 122-127, 132-137, 142-147, 152-158 cm. If you are between sizes, I suggest sizing up since this top is designed to have a negative ease of approximately 4-6 in 10-15 cm meaning that it is designed to be approximately 4-6 in 10-15 smaller in circumference than your bust circumference (or widest part of your torso). If you’d like to make a dress instead of a top, simply use your hip circumference instead of your bust circumference to choose your size.
