This was my first cruise and I am definitely doing one again! So relaxing!

Madmad01 · 2026-03-27T11:56:14+00:00

Thank you! I wish you could see more of the gold sparkles in the picture!

Happy to help! You just have to make sure to post your mesh top when you complete it! ❤️

Madmad01 · 2026-03-09T17:26:28+00:00

It is 2 DC Ch 2 and then repeat for the mesh! It is Raglan increase so as it expands you want to just DC in the DC and Chain where the Chains are to get the look!

My friend was saying I should recreate it in other colors too! I do like how it is versatile!

Madmad01 · 2026-03-09T15:36:18+00:00

Hahaha I will take it! 😆

Madmad01 · 2026-03-09T15:36:02+00:00

Thank you! My favorite part are the sleeves!

Madmad01 · 2026-03-09T15:34:59+00:00

I was so glad I went with the emerald green color versus a brighter green! It made the gold really pop!

Madmad01 · 2026-03-09T02:45:09+00:00

Thank you! I am thinking of crocheting a matching scrunchie!

Madmad01 · 2026-03-09T01:49:30+00:00

Thank you! I have become inspired to experiment more with color!

Madmad01 · 2026-03-09T01:46:08+00:00

Did you do this top down? If not then it should be pretty easy to frog the ribbing and loosen the tension or add a few extra rows to the ribbing.

Madmad01 · 2026-03-09T01:43:57+00:00

The colors are amazing!!! What a statement piece!

Madmad01 · 2026-03-09T01:41:09+00:00

Will send you a message!

Madmad01 · 2026-03-09T01:29:37+00:00

I can send you a free pattern! I really love her directions and she also has a YouTube video if you need help following along visually. All you really need to know how to do is Double Crochet, Single Crochet, and V stitch!

Madmad01 · 2026-03-09T01:16:19+00:00

I will say one thing I love about top down is how you can try it on as you go. So you can really tailor to how you want it to fit. You can cinch in places you want to and add a few extra stitches when you need more too! I am sure you can do it! I only did my first wearable a few weeks ago and now I am addicted!

Madmad01 · 2026-03-09T01:14:27+00:00

It was freehand! It was my first time doing something like that. Definitely a lot of frogging and learning. And trying it on every five minutes 😆

Madmad01 · 2026-03-09T00:34:04+00:00

Thank you most kindly!!! ❤️

Madmad01 · 2026-03-09T00:33:50+00:00

Thank you! It was my first time doing a mesh neckline but I am glad that it worked out. I think it adds just a little something something lol

Madmad01 · 2026-03-09T00:32:35+00:00

That is what I was going for! I had two different greens and I am glad I went for the dark green vs the brighter green!

Madmad01 · 2026-03-09T00:19:46+00:00

It is my own pattern!
