The mesh button up crochet pattern is a structured, lightweight button up shirt. The shirt is constructed in panels and then sleeves, collar and button band are added after seaming. The pattern includes 9 sizes as well as made to measure instructions. This pattern is appropriate for an intermediate-advanced crocheter.

For a more beginner crocheter interested in this look, I would recommend starting with my free mesh tank pattern:
