Pride and Mesh seem to go together. The tricky bit replicating the fully inclusive pride flag is negotiating a switch from horizontal to diagonal lines. Look no further as I present a pattern that only needs minimal colour changes. Everything is made in blocks.

So, you will be buying the instructions for a crocheted mesh tank top, in 9 chest sizes and 4 lengths. The pattern includes a written description, with diagrams and photos used to aid stitch placement. There is a lot of stretch in the finished item, so the sizing is only approximate. I have listed this pattern as “intermediate” because of shaping and pattern techniques.

One purchase gives you all sizes. Stitch markers are vital so make sure you have some handy before starting.

Because of the nature of the design, customisation is difficult, without disturbing the strip pattern, and has not been included in the instructions.

The pdfs are divided according to Shirt Length. You then choose the chest size by following size labelled instructions.

Short (62cm)
Regular (68 cm)
Long (74cm)
X Long (80cm)
