Free Crochet Mesh Beachside Cardigan Pattern

Great pattern that was easy to adjust as needed

This was a great pattern and easy to modify to fit me with a slightly heavier yarn that I used. I also made mine a little longer. I wore it over a sleeveless dress and it was great to wear in chilly air conditioning.

Love the stitch

You would need more than 3 yarn balls to complete this pattern. The writing pattern was confusing, but I was able to followed through.

Cool pattern, but sleeves are confusing.

Found this pattern easy up to the armholes. I have the correct bell shape and have made a ledge with slip stitch, but not sure how sleeve goes together. The sleeve only appears to be half the size needed for the armhole. Please help with more details on how to make the sleeve fit, and where the ledge of the sleeve ends up when it is pinned to the body.

• The sleeves should fit into the armhole fairly easily. If you lay the sleeve flat on a firm surface, there should be a bell curve. This is the sleeve cap and it will be sewn into the armhole. Sew the shoulder seams first. Then, fold the sleeves in half down the length of each sleeve to fin the center of the bell curve. Pin the center of the bell curve to the shoulder seam. The corner at the bottom of each side of the bell curve is to be pinned at the bottom of the armhole. You can now sew the sleeves into each armhole. Then, the bottom “tabs” of the sleeve are sewn together (this is the bottom length of the sleeve itself). Please see the flat sample photos on page 1 of the pattern. We hope this additional guidance is of great help to you!

Nice Except for Sleeve Attachment

For the most part I really like the pattern, the problem I have is with the sleeve attachment and the actual size of the sleeve compared with the body of the garment. I made the XS/S size of the body and sleeve and the sleeve seems too small/short. I don’t understand how to attach the sleeve using the mattress seam, the crocheted edges don’t match up at all. Any helpful instructions would be appreciated.

Not clear

I’m experienced and the pattern stops making sense around the sleeve step. I have no clue how to finish the sleeve and I don’t understand how to do the shape your top section. Please help

• Let's take a closer look at the sleeve shaping of the Mesh Beachside Cardigan. Shape Top: 1st row: Sl st in first tr. (Sl st in next st, ch-1 sp, st) 1 (1-1- 1-2-3) time(s). Sl st in next st and ch-1 sp. Ch 4. Skip next st. In this first steps, you are slip stitching across the first few stitches, creating a ledge. Depending on the size, you do not begin working the X-sts until you are the number specified for your size. X-st in each X-st to last 2 (2-2-2-3-4) X-sts. Work across the row until you are almost at the end. Skip next st. 1 tr in next ch-1 sp of next X-st. Turn. Leave rem sts unworked. Leave the specified stitches unworked to create a ledge at the end of the row. These two ledges at the beginning and end of the row create the sleeve shaping.

Pattern is poorly written with not enough informations on how to divide the parts, the diagrams are confusing and in the end I gave up and freehanded the rest.

Simple and pretty!

I love the simplicity of this sweater! I have been crocheting for years and this is the first time I have seen the X-stitch. I love it! So classy and the pattern reminds me of the weave of the wicker rocking chair of my grandmother's. Made this with a gradation-colored jewel tones yarn. It's stunning!

Pattern written so wrong!

Beachside cardigan is so ambiguous that I wasted too many hours trying to uncover what in the world the author was trying to say. It should have been so simple! Too many hours lost because with my experience I thought I could decipher this pattern. Wrong!

Please could you tell me which method you used to attach the sleeves? Struggling a bit with this bit, everything else though has worked out perfectly!
