How to crochet the pattern, Extended Mesh

The extended mesh pattern is a crochet technique that creates a light, airy, and open fabric, making it perfect for projects like summer garments, market bags, and decorative items. This pattern involves the extended single crochet (esc) stitch combined with chains to create a mesh effect. Here’s a detailed explanation of how to work the extended mesh pattern:
Abbreviations:
• esc: Extended Single Crochet
• yo: Yarn Over
Crochet Extended Single Crochet (esc)
1. Insert the hook: Insert the hook into the stitch where you want to make the extended single crochet.
2. Yarn over and pull up a loop: Yarn over (yo) and pull up a loop through the stitch. You now have two loops on the hook.
3. Chain 1: Yarn over and pull through the first loop on the hook. This creates an extra chain and adds height to the stitch.
4. Complete the single crochet: Yarn over again and pull through the two loops remaining on the hook. This completes the extended single crochet.
Pattern:
Foundation Chain:
◦ Chain a multiple of 2 + 1 (e.g., 21, 41, 61) for your desired width. This will ensure that the pattern is symmetrical and easy to repeat.
2. Row 1:
◦ Work 1 extended single crochet (esc) in the 5th chain from the hook.
◦ Chain 1, skip 1 chain, esc in the next chain. Repeat from * to the end of the row.
◦ Turn your work.
3. Row 2:
◦ Chain 3 (counts as 1 esc and chain 1).
◦ Skip the next esc, work 1 esc in the next chain-1 space. Repeat from * to the end of the row, making sure to work the last esc into the top of the turning chain from the previous row.
◦ Turn your work.
4. Row 3 and onwards:
◦ Repeat Row 2 until your project reaches the desired length.
Tips for Working the Extended Mesh Pattern:
Consistent Tension: Maintain consistent tension to ensure the mesh is even.
Turning Chains: The turning chain is crucial as it helps maintain the height of the mesh pattern.
Blocking: For projects like shawls and garments, blocking can help to even out the mesh and open up the pattern.
Applications:
The extended mesh pattern is versatile and can be used for:
Summer tops and dresses
Lightweight shawls and wraps
Market bags and totes
Decorative home items like curtains and table runners
