Notes:
- This top is worked in 4 separate panels, from the bottom up.
- This pattern is written in 5 different sizes- XS(S/M, L/XL, 2X/3X, 4X/5X).
- Your picot is worked into the actual Ch, not the Ch Sp.
- You will be switching your yarn colors out every 2 rows, beginning with Color A. Be sure to pay attention and switch Color A and Color
- B every 2 rows. You can use either color for the sewing and trim.
- A pattern repeat is 1 picot and 1 Ch-5 Sp
- Make sure to not work your starting chain too tightly. You want the starting chain to have a relaxed tension.
- This is a really stretchy stitch! The Mesh stitch will stretch when worn so it will look longer and baggier when you have it on.
- I recommend blocking your panels before sewing them together. This really helps with the drape and definition of the stitch! I like to steam block mine.

Note- This is
an oversized drop-sleeve style pullover. The wider the front/back panels are, the shorter the sleeve needs to be because they join further down
your bicep. That’s why the smaller sizes have more rows than the larger.
You an easily adjust your sleeve length by adding or taking away rows in
multiples of 2.
