Diamond Mesh Stitch Instructions:
To get the right size for you, measure the circumference over chest
and shoulders. Take this measurement and multiply it by 1.5 and the
result is going to be the wrap length. See in table below which size is
for you to follow in the pattern. (e.g. shoulders circumference 100cm,
wrap length needed 100cm x 1.5=150cm, which is size S)
SIZE SLEEVE Length WRAP Length TOTAL Length
XS 44cm/17” 140cm/55” 228cm/90”
S 46cm/18” 150cm/59” 242cm/96”
M 48cm/19” 160cm/63” 256cm/101”
L 50cm/20” 170cm/67” 270cm/106”
XL 52cm/21” 180cm/71” 284cm/112”
Foundation Chain: start with a chain as long as the wrap length for
your size in the table above. (Stitch count must be multiple of 3) Then
Resources: turn. (e.g. for size S ch180 if your tension is 12sc= 10cm/4”)
http://newstitchaday.com/how-to-
crochet-the-diamond-mesh-stitch/ Row 1: *Ch3, sk 2st, sc1 into next st*. Repeat from **to last st, then
turn.
Row 2: *ch3, sc1 in next ch sp*; rep from ** to end, turn.
Join in round with a slst for
Row3-40: Repeat R2 until you have worked 30cm/12” (I have
sleeve worked 40 rows) For L,XL work a little wider the wrap part
(38cm/15”)
Row41: Ch3, *sc1 in next ch sp, ch2* rep from ** to end of row. This
row will bring us back to the original sts count we started with.
You are done now with the wrap part, which is in a shape of
long rectangle.
Sleeves:
From the small side of the rectangle (wrap part), we will start to work
first sleeve from shoulder to fingers, where we are going to end it as a
Close the thumb hole fingerless glove. (see photo)
Next 3 rows will be a transition between wrap and sleeves (see photo)
Row 1: Join yarn in, ch2, *dc1 in next ch sp (space formed on the side
at each turn when you worked (ch3) on the wrap part, then ch1, *;
repeat ** to end, turn.
Row 2,3: Repeat Row1
Row 4,5: ch2, work dc in every st, then at the end (work in round
further on) slst into 2nd chain of initial chain-2 to join the
round.

Row 6: ch2, dec1, then work dc in every st, then at the end slst into 2nd chain of initial ch2 to join the
round.
Repeat R4-6 until you get to the base of your thumb where we are going to split the sleeve to create
the thumb hole. (about 8cm before the sleeve ends)
Illustration for direction to work (see blue arrows)
Sleeve Wrap part Sleeve
Work 3 rows of dc, flat (when you reach the end of round just turn instead of joining with a slst). On 4th
row join again with a slst to close in round for the thumb hole and work another 2 rounds of dc in
round. Fasten off.
Work the second sleeve in a similar way starting from the other small side of the original wrap part.
Make sure you are on the right side of the work when you join yarn for the second sleeve, so that both
sleeves face same direction.
Weave in loose ends.
Wear and have fun!
