Summer🦩is a bummer without chunky yarn🧶! Crochet this chunky mesh overshirt with me ⛱️

This super chunky mesh overshirt is my way of getting my crojo back this summer. With Loopy Mango's Big cotton, we can make a beachy coverup super fast! And help get some of that crafting momentum restarted again.

THAAAAAAAANK YOU this is exactly what I've been looking for for the past 2 weeks! For a person who lives in a country where it always feels like summer and has a lot of yarn to work with, this is perfect!

[@lizzuuu3831]

Update: I've finished mine a couple of days ago with some adjustments for worsted weight yarn and a 6mm hook because that's what I had, and wore it yesterday. I love it! Thank you for the pattern! 😍😊

[@MsRikkiTikki1]

@@lizzuuu3831what did you change in the pattern? I have a worsted weight yarn, I started with 62 foundation chain stitches and worked up 10 rows of mesh. That seems to fit down from my elbow to my armpit. I’m wondering how to approach the front and back panels. Any advice? Should I just chain until it reaches my waist?

[@holdenwestley]

thank you SO much for including larger sizes!!!! seriously means the world to have accessible clothing patterns 😭😭

[@GrannyLovesSquares]

Thank you for this wonderful pattern. The time stamps are a huge help. I have made at least 9 of these thus far. In the Southwest, we pounce on anything that helps bring relief from the heat but keeps us covered. ❤🧶❤🧶

[@sueann805]

I'm gonna try to get brave enough to use some chunky yarn and make this.

[@jawbreaker087]

in my opinion, the chunky yarn is easier! 😁

[@critchley999]

I hope it worked out well for you x I've only crocheted a couple of small toys before but I've started this today and it's such basic stitches it's going well so far. Just in a couple of hours I have done one sleeve and cast on for the front and back and done a couple of rows of that. It grows so quickly. I couldn't afford the expensive cotton yarn as with postage it would have cost me about £70 and I wasn't that confident but I got some cheaper chunky acrylic in a nice denim blue. I don't think it's is only suitable for a beach jacket. It will add warmth to a thin sweater during these cold Winter months here in the UK. I know there's some tricky bits to do but fingers crossed I manage to finish it and both fronts are the same length .. lol. I have a habit of gaining or losing stitches when I try to crochet. xx

I have about 30 skeins of LB Hometown in sage, maroon, and dark pine green (not exact names.. it’s only 6 am) I bought at Walmart on Clearance for $2 a few years ago. I tried making a sweater, but it would be a workout wearing it. It weighed a ton! I found out I don’t care for it (except the sage, it was a bit thinner, easier to use). Now chunky/ bulky is another story! I adore the thick chunky cozy fabric it creates.

[@kimhellman995]

You are GOOD!! I so much enjoyed this!!!! Thank you!!! Perfect timing for a cover-up!!!

[@Blue.Berry.Gums.]

I’m currently doing this one with some 4 weight yarn and it’s so light and airy and wonderful. I frogged a different project that I wasn’t loving to reclaim the yarn and it’s great! It was already tied into one giant ball so the lack of ends is amazing!

[@-.-4]

Thanks! I have tons of #4 yarn. Yippee!

[@jodie7958]

Did you need to adjust anything with the pattern if you used 4 weight yarn? I

[@Blue.Berry.Gums.]

@@jodie7958 I made it to my size, I’m XL/2XL and wanted it long. I adjusted to my size but otherwise used the same size hook, stitch, and format of the pattern. I’m obsessed with this piece! As mentioned above, I reused some yarn from a failed project. I had 2 cakes of Yarn Bee sugarwheel in a color way that might be discontinued. I added a skein of yarn bee soft and sleek because it was part of that failed project. I have almost a cakes worth leftover. I skipped the collar and did a row of linen stitch in some of the yarn in each color (my yarn is color blocked deep blue, lavender, mustard, sage, light pink, dusty red) around the opening and sleeve cuffs. I get SO many compliments every time I wear it! I’m planning on making another one in size 4 yarn. It’s amazing!

[@wild4wilde_]

​@@Blue.Berry.Gums. hey!! I'm looking to make this pattern with weight 4 yarn as well. I'm a size S. What crochet hook did you use? If you follow the pattern exactly as is (according to the appropriate size), does it still turn out appropriately sized? I assume it'd be smaller because of the thinner yarn?

[@Blue.Berry.Gums.]

@@wild4wilde_ that will depend on your tension. I felt that it was still a similar gauge because I’m very true to hook size with the way I crochet. The holes are big and the project is light and loose. Try a swatch of 15 stitches or whatever feels right and work up a square. Stretch it out and wash it. See what you like. ☺️ I crochet on feelings and vibes. If I don’t like how something is going, I will just go back and adjust. Patterns are my guide and inspiration, not my rule book.

Same!! Mine fits like a bolero jacket and I have no idea what I did wrong!

[@skitzfowler]

It’s the pattern. I’m usually M/L. I tried to make the originally sizing as per this video and realized after crocheting the shelves that they couldn’t even fit around my arm. I ended up making the 2XL/3XL pattern she provided instead.

I want to make this, butwith 3/4 sleeves. Wish me luck 🤞

I'm thinking of recreating it with a normal yarn ....it's looking great ♥️🙌

What did you have to change to make it still fit?

[@simplyzilch1588]

How did you do it??

[@ramlatamim6197]

I did it with regular yarn as well and mine looks great. Just use a hook bigger than the size of the yarn and the stitches should be looser. Hope this helped

[@vibrantknots]

This worked up so quickly, I finished it in just a few hours thanks to your guide. Amazing job, truly!

[@lisasimonetti8705]

LOVE this shirt and I was wondering how can I make this longer? I'm a beginner and I'm not sure where to add on at. Thanks I cant wait to try this.

[@angelakdecastro]

Do you know the dimensions of the sleeves and main part when it’s lied out..? I want to make this but with regular yarn, but I want the same fit

[@buhleswazy8709]

Same

[@snakyboi6917]

Idk the dimensions but I used the bigger sizes as a guide and kept chaining 4 extra ones until it fitted me comfortably. I used 4.5mm hook on sugar and cream yarn and I chained 42 and that fitted me comfortably. Also I found that for the longer measurements for me I had to double them and add 4 so for the front and back panels I chained 62 instead of 29. Hopefully this helps.

[@MsRikkiTikki1]

@@snakyboi6917when you split the garment for the neck, how many did you chain? I followed your advice and this fits me perfectly! Now that I’m up to the splitting the middle part and she says to chain 39, I feel lost again. What did you do?

[@snakyboi6917]

@@MsRikkiTikki1 I stopped once I got my half of the front done and I couldn't figure out how to chain and have it the same length so I just did another half and then slip stitched them together. You can't tell because my seam is inside of the overshirt. Or you could measure it and do a couple of rows of single crochet to tidy it up. I did 6 rows of single crochet on the bottom and 3 rows around the neck opening and 12 rows for the collar. Hope this helps.

[@MsRikkiTikki1]

@@snakyboi6917 okay I followed your suggestions and then for the front panel, I chained 62 like you suggested. It worked perfectly. I did 12 rows of mesh because that came right up about an inch or 2 away from my neck. I split the middle and i just did a little quick math trial and error to figure it out. After I split, then crocheted up to the split, and 2 more DC after that, per the pattern directions, here’s what I did and it worked. I counted the remaining DC bars that were unworked in the row, I doubled that number, and added 4 chains at the end. So when I “skipped five stitches” I was starting my first DC bar and it lined right up! I messed it up the first time and added an extra DC by mistake but I frogged and used the technique I just told you and I’m lining everything up now and it seems to be matching up nicely! The pattern creator isn’t responding to anyone’s comments with questions so we’ve gotta help each other out here!

Ciao bellissimo lavoro e colore, sono una principiante ma proverò a farne uno per me 🤗😘 saluti da Genova

[@sushiegirl]

Lovely, but don’t understand why yours is so long 🤨 mine is very short 😢

[@minilyra]

Great pattern and instructions! I wouldn't recommend the DMC Nova Vita yarn though, that's what I bought, and it's VERY heavy, and also pretty stiff, so not really a good yarn for clothes in general I think. Unless you like your crochet makes to double as weighted blankets. I did the edges and collar in another color and it works really well btw

[@trinaa7303]

Will try the largest size available... hopefully it will fit an adult. If not, will try my best to alter as much as possible. There's NOTHING greater than being able to complete a crochet garment with tons of snip, snipping away and knotting....

Attempting this with size 4 100% acrylic yarn and a 6 mm hook. Wil update how it goes! Fingers crossed

[@natalieclk]

How did it go? I want to do the same 😊

[@Thedevilstrxsh]

Ok, this is super cute, like so cool. I was wondering how you'd make one long sleeve though? I feel like for fall it'd be a neat cardigan.

[@critchley999]

I'd think you just do more rows until the sleeve is as long as you want it. Although I wouldn't know if it had a dropped shoulder so would be hard to judge length. How about if you don't start with the sleeve but cast on all the stitches for the front and back and then when you fit it on and can see how long the sleeves need to be you could pick up the stitches on the shoulder and work the sleeves downwards until you have the exact length you want.

Has anyone gotten a response on advice for using #4 weight yarn? I am dying to create this piece but I am still new and don't understand how the measuring and adding/removing chains to customize the size of the project works.

Hi, can this be done with smaller weight yarn like an #3 weight? I made this and love it! I was going to make another like this and follow along with the #3 weight at the same time.

This is so cute! I got some bulky yarn on clearance and Id love to try and make this but I have a 9mm hook...do you think that would work if I size up? like make the Large with 9mm instead of S/M with 10mm?

[@laylamarin5771]

Yes just do a swatch first (just in case) and be sure to try it on in the process so if it's not right there's less to frog
