The Mesh Sweater - English

This pattern is in English.

The Mesh Sweater is an oversized sweater featuring a mesh pattern with a semi-high neck and wide sleeves. The sweater is worked from the top down,  starting with the back piece shaped with increases. Then, stitches are picked up for the shoulders, worked separately, and joined for the front piece. The back and front pieces are joined on a circular needle and worked in the mesh pattern in the round. The body is finished with a rolled edge. Stitches are then picked up for the sleeves, worked in the round on a short circular needle or with the magic loop method. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neckline, worked in twisted knit stitches, and finished with a rolled edge.
