V Stitch Mesh Top

This crochet pattern is for a men's top in a mesh design. The distinctive pattern is vertical lines of V stitches and chain stitches. The sizing of the top can be customised in several ways. The pattern gives instructions for adjusting the width, and adjusting the length in three different places, all to provide various styles of top.

The pattern was designed using a worsted weight cotton yarn. The garment is made in two pieces and joined at the sides and shoulders. The instructions include lots of detail to ensure shaping is made easy. There is a lot of stretch in the finished item, so the sizing is only approximate. The pattern includes suggestions for standard measurements, but customisation is recommended.
