PATTERN AND SIZING NOTES

• For this crochet batwing sweater, you must have knowledge of: working in the BB of the foundation chain, slip stitch, skipping stitches, double crochet, double crochet Moss Stitch and increasing on both ends of a row.
• This mesh crochet sweater is made in two identical panels and seamed at the shoulders and down the sides. The panels are worked from the bottom up. At the end, a small (optional) cuff is worked on to the end of each sleeve.
• The double crochet Moss Stitch is just like the regular Moss Stitch (also knows as Linen Stitch or Granite Stitch) except, instead of using single crochet, you use double crochet. So you skip a stitch and chain 1, then place a DC in the next ST, then skip a stitch and chain 1 and place a DC in the next ST and continue this across the row.
• The design if for a slightly short sleeve, just shy of wrist length, but you can create a longer cuff in the assembly portion if you like.
• The pattern for this crochet batwing sweater is given for XS with all respective counts given in parentheses ( ) after the XS count.
• Turning CH’s do NOT count as stitches.
• To easily count your ST’s in a row to make sure you’re on track, just skip count by 2’s at each DC (not including the turning chain)
• The stitch count is given in parentheses ( ) at the end of each row.
