Lo schema che vedi è multiplo di 6+2. Io ho caricato 92 cat per una larghezza di circa 50 cm. Calcola che il punto rete è molto elastico, quindi la maglia non aderisce al corpo.
Devi realizzare due pannelli e unirli a punto zig zag per evitare la cucitura classica che in questo progetto sarebbe elemento di disturbo. Uniti i pannelli, lascia i cm necessari per lo scalfo e per lo scollo quindi procede nella cucitura.
Per rendere la maglia più completa ed elegante, ho deciso di rifinire il collo come vedi nell’immagine. Ho avviato 8 catenelle e lavorato 4 pb e 4 mma. Lavorando sempre la maglie basse sulle maglie basse e le mezze maglie sulle mezze maglie, si ottiene un collo tondo anatomico che quindi potrà essere facilmente cucito allo scollo.
Per creare una cornice capace di valorizzare al massimo il punto, ho scelto di creare una fascia anche sul bordo e sui polsini. Basterà avviare un primo giro di punti alti e poi alternare 2 maglie a rilievo dietro e una a rilievo davanti. La texture risulterà in linea con quella del collo. La manica corta nel mio caaso può variare nella lunghezza a seconda del gusto personale.
La Respiro è talmente fresca e leggera da non sentirla addosso.
Si può replicare con qualsiasi filato in cotone, lino o filo di scozia.

🌬️ Respiro – Lightness, Elegance, and Style in a Summer Top
Summer fashion speaks of effortless elegance, soft silhouettes, and refined details. Inspired by the timeless allure and understated sophistication of Brunello Cucinelli’s style, I designed Respiro — an essential, versatile, and effortlessly chic crochet top.
The use of an original variation of the mesh stitch gives this piece an airy, delicate texture, making it ideal for warm, sun-filled days. The true secret of Respiro lies in its graceful flow — it doesn’t cling to the body but gently follows your natural shape, offering both comfort and femininity. Finished with a refined round neckline, soft sleeve cuffs, and a clean border, the design is enhanced by a touch of contemporary class.
Respiro is made for the woman who loves to feel free and comfortable, without ever compromising on style. Perfect with casual jeans, summer shorts, or even paired with elegant palazzo trousers for a chic event, this top will quickly become a staple in your wardrobe.
As always, fashion is freedom, expression, and personality — and with Respiro, you’ll find all of that woven into a single garment. Wear it, live it, breathe the beauty of style.

Technical Details
The stitch pattern used follows a multiple of 6 + 2.
I started with 92 chains to reach a width of about 50 cm — keep in mind that mesh stitch is very stretchy, so the top won’t cling tightly to the body.
You’ll need to make two separate panels, which should then be joined using a zig-zag stitch. This technique replaces the classic seam, which in this case would disrupt the clean, airy design. Once joined, leave space for the armholes and neckline, then finish the seam.
To enhance the garment and give it a more polished look, I chose to finish the neckline with a clean, anatomical round collar.
To do this, I started with 8 chains and worked 4 single crochet (sc) followed by 4 half double crochet (hdc). By consistently working sc on sc and hdc on hdc in subsequent rows, you’ll create a gently curved neckline that can be sewn onto the body of the top with ease.
To further frame and highlight the mesh pattern, I added a band to the bottom edge and the sleeve cuffs. Simply begin with a row of double crochets (dc), then alternate 2 back post dc + 1 front post dc to create a textured effect that matches the neckline.
The sleeve length can be adjusted according to your personal taste — I opted for a short sleeve, but you can modify it freely.
Respiro is so light and breathable, you’ll barely feel it on your skin.
You can recreate it with any cotton, linen, or mercerized thread (Filo di Scozia), based on your preferences and season.
Together with the Cecilia bag, Respiro is part of the CHIC COMFORT CAPSULE COLLECTION — a style that follows you anywhere. ✨
