Women's Flared Mesh Open-work Cardigan/Beach Cover-Up 1139

A lacy open-mesh crochet cardigan (beach cover-up style) worked flat in panels and seamed, with simple geometric eyelet repeats, straight sleeves, and a neat multi-round edging. Designed for 4-ply / fingering yarns with good drape (nylon, microfiber, cotton, bamboo or sock-blend options). Sized to fit bust 34–38 in. Make the long tie and bobble ends, thread through the neckline edging, and adjust the fit at centre front. A clean, minimal construction that blocks and dries quickly—ideal for holidays and layering.

What you’ll make: An open-front mesh cardigan with set-in sleeves, clean geometric eyelets, and a neat multi-round edging; finished with a 36-inch chain tie threaded through the neckline and bobble ends for a adjustable front.

Sizing / Measurements: To fit bust 34 in, 36 in, 38 in; finished length from shoulder 28 in (34), 28½ in (36), 29 in (38); sleeve seam 17 in (all sizes).

Tension (gauge): Swatch the mesh pattern and block lightly to confirm measurements; adjust hook size until your blocked swatch matches the stated dimensions (mesh is drapey; count spaces consistently).

Yarn Suggestions: Rowan Summerlite 4ply (cotton, UK); King Cole Giza Cotton 4 Ply (cotton, UK); Cascade Heritage (wool/nylon, US); Knit Picks Stroll (wool/nylon, US); Bendigo Woollen Mills Cotton 4 ply (cotton, AU).

Needles & notions: Crochet hooks 4.50 mm and 4.00 mm; tapestry/yarn needle; optional blocking mats and pins.

Construction notes: Worked flat in panels (Back, Right Front, Left Front); armholes shaped in-pattern; sleeves worked flat and set in; edging worked in the round around fronts, neck, and lower edge; make a 36-inch chain tie and attach two bobbles, then thread through the third edging round at the neckline.

Skill level: Easy / confident beginner (comfortable with chain, double crochet [UK], treble, double treble, and simple shaping).
