Introduction/Inspiration
Thank you so much for the purchase of this pattern, I appreciate it so much! The
inspiration for the name of this cardigan came from the fact that it is entirely made
of mesh stitches so there is a lot of empty space. ;)

Front Panels:
You will be using the same length measurement as your back panel.
Sleeve Width:
Holding your arm out straight to the side, measure from the top of your bicep to
the bottom going down. Then double that number. For example, if your bicep is 4
inches tall, then you will end up with 8 inches as your measurement.
Sleeve Length:
Measure from the middle of your bicep down to the middle of your hand. (Or
desired length) This will determine how long your sleeves will be

Making the Back Panel
To start your project you will measure from the top of your shoulder to back of
your calves. (or desired length) This will be how long you'd like your cardigan to
be. With that measurement, CH any odd number to match your measurement. We
must start with an odd number so that way when we do the mesh later on, we will
have the appropriate amount of stitches.
Please note: The DC rows (Rows 6-10) allow for that extra oversized look. If you
have a tight tension, be careful when doing the SC rows before and after rows 6-
10 because this may make those rows a little wavy. However, if your DC rows do
become wavy, this should go away once you block your cardigan.
Once you have your starting CH, follow the instructions below:
R1- CH 1, and DC into the second CH from hook. Then DC across.
R2: CH 1, and DC across.
R3: CH 1, and SC across
We will now start the "Colosseum Stitch"
R4: CH 1, DC into first ST. Ch 1, SK next ST. Then DC into next ST. Repeat this for
the whole row. Your last stitch should end with a DC.
R5: CH 1, SC in each DC and CH space across.
*Repeat rows 4 & 5 until your back panel reaches half of your "width of back panel
measurement". (see page 5) It should reach to about the middle of your back.*
R6-10: CH 1, and do 5 rows of DC
R11: CH 1, and SC across
We will now start the "Colosseum Stitch" again
R12: CH 1, DC into first ST. Ch 1, SK next ST. Then DC into next ST. Repeat this for
the whole row.
R 13: CH 1, SC across
Repeat rows 12 & 13 until you have the same amount of mesh boxes on each side.
R14: CH 1, DC across
R15: CH 1, DC across
You can now FO and sew in your ends.

Sleeves
(MAKE 2)
For the sleeve width - measure the size of your bicep and double that number.
(For example if your bicep is 4 inches in width you will make a chain of odd
numbers approximately 8 inches long)
For the sleeve length - Measure from the middle of your bicep down to the middle
of your hand. (Or desired length) This will determine how long your sleeves will be
Once you have made your starting CH of an odd number follow below:
R1: CH 1, and SC into the second CH from hook. Then SC in each chain across.
We will now start the Colosseum Stitch
R2: CH 1, DC into first ST. Ch 1, SK next ST. Then DC into next ST. Repeat this for
the whole row.
R3: CH 1 and SC across
Repeat R2 & R3 until your sleeve reaches the desired length.
FO and leave long tail for sewing.
