Can’t decide which color to make? Our free pattern download includes instructions for all 4 of these stunning mesh sweater styles!  Why I Love This Mesh Pattern There is something magical about a project that looks high-end but is secretly simple to make. This Mesh Summer Sweater is officially my new favorite design for three main reasons. First, the breathability . As a designer based in a warmer climate, I wanted a garment that provides coverage without the heat. This openwork stitch allows for maximum airflow, making it perfect for beach days or summer evenings. Second, the texture . Using a mesh stitch creates a beautiful drape that follows your movement. It doesn’t feel stiff like some solid crochet sweaters can. Lastly, the speed. Because of the "holes" in the mesh, you aren’t filling in every single space with a stitch. This means you can finish a whole pullover in a fraction of the time it takes to make a solid cardigan. It is the ultimate "micro-win"...

 If you are new to crochet, the Solid Granny Square Coaster is the absolute best place to start. Unlike traditional designs with many gaps, these coasters are sturdy, modern, and incredibly functional. Best of all? Once you get the rhythm down, you can whip one up in just 10 minutes.    The perfect "quick win" project for your coffee table.          Materials You Will Need To get that soft, aesthetic look shown in the photos, I recommend using a natural fiber like cotton. Yarn: Medium weight (Size 4) cotton yarn. Cotton is best for coasters because it absorbs moisture and handles heat perfectly. (Colors used: Cream, Blush Pink, and Sage Green). Hook: 5.0mm (H) crochet hook. Tools: A pair of scissors and a yarn needle to weave in your ends.       Abbreviations (US Terms) Before we start, here are the stitches we will be using: ch: Chain sl st: Slip Stitch dc: Double Crochet st(s): Stitch(es)           Step 1:...
