Green Mesh Crochet Crop Top in Cotton and Linen, "Loire"
What to know
Materials
Cotton, Flax, Polyamide
Registry ZL-2026-0015 · the only one
Open mesh in forest green cotton and linen, crocheted loose enough to let the light through.
WHAT IT IS
A cropped, oversized crochet sweater in a cotton and linen blend, worked in open mesh stitches with bell sleeves that run long past the wrist. The body sits cropped at the waist and measures 35 cm (15.0 in) long and 51 cm (20 in) across. The sleeves run 45 cm (17.7 in) from shoulder to cuff. Every gap in the mesh is placed by hand, one motif at a time, in forest green.
WHAT GOES INTO IT
Ten to sixteen hours, and open mesh does not forgive rushing.
Each gap is placed by hand, one motif at a time, so it holds its own shape with no dense fabric behind it to lean on. Cotton and linen do not stretch to cover a slip in tension, and that tension has to stay even across 51 cm of width and down 45 cm of bell sleeve.
Fifty percent cotton, forty percent linen, ten percent polyamide - the polyamide is what keeps an open stitch from sagging.
There is one of this sweater, this dye lot - sell it and there is no second run to spread those hours across.
HOW IT FEELS
Cotton and linen together have more body than a soft acrylic knit - the mesh holds its shape and does not cling.
Linen brings a slight dry, crisp hand that softens with wear and washing; the cotton keeps the drape from feeling stiff.
It sits open and airy against the skin, closer to wearing a woven mesh than a snug knit. Layer a cami or tank underneath for less midriff or more warmth.
MATERIALS
- 50% cotton
- 40% linen
- 10% polyamide
I print the full split, including the small polyamide share. It is part of what lets the open stitches hold their shape, not just the cotton and linen you can see.

ONE PIECE ONLY
There is one of this, and when it goes the listing goes with it.
I do not restock and I do not repeat a colourway - partly by choice, partly because the yarn came from one dye lot and that lot is finished.
If you want something close, message me and we can talk about a commission. It will not be this one.
CARE
Hand wash cool, or machine on a wool cycle in a mesh bag. Mild detergent, no bleach.
Do not wring. Reshape while damp and dry flat.
Cool iron on the reverse if you want the mesh to sit flat.
Cotton linen softens with every wash and creases honestly. Both are the point.
ORDER INFO
MADE TO ORDER? No. This one exists. It is finished, photographed and in my hands. It ships as it is.

I pack and post within 1-2 business days, Monday to Friday.
SHIPPING FROM POLAND
Sent from Wroclaw, tracked, every parcel. Inside the EU there are no customs charges and nothing is collected at the door.
RETURNS
30 days from delivery. Not the 14 the law asks of me - 30.
Send it back unworn and I refund the item in full. Return postage is yours unless it arrived damaged or not as described, in which case it is mine.
Hand-made does not mean final sale. I would rather it came back than sat in a drawer.

Message me. If you want a photo of it next to a tape measure, or held against a coat you already own, ask and I will send one. More information can be found https://zaikalabel.com/
