Easy Mesh Top Knitting Pattern PDF – Short-Sleeve Top

Easy Mesh Top Knitting Pattern

Create an airy layer with this mesh top knitting pattern. The photographed design features green openwork fabric, a wide neckline, roomy short sleeves, and a ribbed lower edge. Its relaxed silhouette pairs naturally with a simple camisole and jeans, letting the knitted mesh take center stage.

Why You’ll Love This Pattern

A repeating four-row mesh pattern creates the open texture using yarn overs and knit-two-together decreases. Ribbed details provide a neat finish around the garment’s edges.

The top is worked in one piece from front to back, with sleeve and neckline shaping incorporated along the way. Side and sleeve seams complete the body, followed by a picked-up neckline edging worked in the round.

Six size groups, color-coded size information, and a garment schematic help you follow the instructions for your selected fit.
