hey guys welcome back today i'll be using e6 mm hook because i want my stitches to be quite loose so i'm going to start with your sleep knot and then we're going to chain 66 i took this measurement across my chest
Step-by-step tutorial for crocheting an open fishnet shrug/bolero with sleeves using a 6mm hook, covering the body, neck opening, armholes and sleeves.
Key Takeaways
- A fishnet shrug or bolero can be made from one chained foundation using a simple repeating double crochet and chain-3 pattern
- Measurements should be adjusted to the individual's chest, neck and arm length
- Trying the piece on while working the sleeves ensures the right fit
What the video covers
- Uses a 6mm hook for loose, open stitches
- Foundation chain of 66 sized to chest width (about 17.5 inches), plus extra chains for the fishnet double crochet pattern
- Fishnet stitch pattern: double crochet, chain 3, skip 3 stitches, repeat across each row
- Rows continue until the back and front panels each measure about 6.5 inches
- Neck opening is created by working a central section and chaining 36 stitches, sized to the number of holes
- Armholes are formed by leaving the top of the panel open with slip stitches
- Sleeves are worked in the round from the armhole, measuring about 19.5 inches (adjustable by trying it on)
- The other sleeve is worked the same way, then yarn ends are woven in
- Shows the front and back of the finished piece at the end

so from one shoulder to another shoulder that means you can do more or less depends on what you want after my 66 chains it measures about 17.5 inches and now we're going to make extra nine chains then we're going to count nine stitches
Speaker A
the extra nine stitches you made you're going to skip nine stitches and place your double crochet in the tent one so you place your double crochet in the tenth stitch from your hook your double crochet you chain three
Speaker A
and then you skip three stitches one two three and then you place your double crochet in the fourth stitch so one more time you chain three skip three stitches and place your double crochet in the fourth stitch and basically we're doing this for the
Speaker A
whole of this row so just to make it clear you're not inserting your hook where your work is connected it's on the next stitch so i have four stitches left so it was perfect and i'm going to make my last double crochet
Speaker A
and at the end we're going to chain six after chain six you turn your work and you're going to place your double crochet inside the hole so take your hook inside the hole and pull up loop and make your double
Speaker A
crochet then chain three and the next double crochet in the next hole and chain three and next double crochet into the next hole so this is the stitch we're going to use for the whole of this project and you're
Speaker A
just going to keep making rows until you're satisfied like we did last time after your last double crochet you're going to chain six turn your work and you continue with the next row [Music] so after my several inches of rose i
Speaker A
have 18 holes you might have more or less but it doesn't matter so regardless of how many holes you have you're going to count four stitches on one side and five stitches on the other side and in the middle we're going to make
Speaker A
the neck hole you don't really need stitch markers but i use stitch markers to make it clear in the middle i have nine holes and i'm going to multiply my nine wholes by four we're multiplying by four because we
Speaker A
have four stitches in the middle so i'm going to place my double crochets in the four holes and after you place your last double crochet you chain three and remember i said i have nine holes in the middle and i multiplied by
Speaker A
four so i have that six and for the neck i'm going to chain 36 if you don't have nine holes like mine it's still fine you might have less or more for example you might have seven holes and you're still going to multiply it by
Speaker A
four and your results would be what you're going to chain in the middle after my chains i'm going to make sure everything is straight and then i'm going to make a double crochet at the fifth hole on the other side
Speaker A
and then chain three as usual and continue the usual stitch so i've taken off my stitch markers to show you guys what i did so those are the four double crochets that we did and then chain 36 and the remaining four on the left
Speaker A
so for the next row we're going to place our double crochets in the first four holes and after you place your double crochet in the fourth hole you're going to count four stitches from that stitch and that's where you're going to place
Speaker A
your next double crochet [Music] after that you chain three and you place your next double crochet in the fourth stitch so you skip three stitches and your double crochet would be on the fourth stitch then you chain three
Speaker A
skip three stitches and place your double crochet in the fourth stitch and you continue till you get to the other side so when you're done with that part you're just going to place your next double crochet in the next hole
Speaker A
chain three and then you just continue the same stitch this is what we have so far and this is what the neck hole looks like next you're going to continue your rows until you have the same length with the
Speaker A
front panel the front panel measures 6.5 inches and the back panel measures 6.5 inches also but that is just for me you can do more rows if you want to or less rules from here i'm going to flip my work like
Speaker A
that and now we're going to make the armholes you're going to align your work and we're going to sew few stitches and leave the top open for the armholes so we're going to make a slip stitch just at the edge
Speaker A
and make sure everything is tight and now we're going to place our slip stitches in where we have our double crochets i don't know how to explain it but i hope you guys can see it's clearly [Music] so i did three slip stitches in
Speaker A
the holes of the double crochets and that is the armhole after your slip stitches then you're going to chain three and you just place your double crochet in the next hole then chain three and you go in the next hole
Speaker A
and from here we're just going to keep making our stitches and round this is my last hole on this round and we're just going to join it with the first stitch we made after our slip stitch so that is the stitch right there
Speaker A
you're going to chain three and just place your double crochet there and like i said you're just going to keep going around until you get your desired length i'm done with mine and this is the length i want
Speaker A
to measure i'm going to look for where i had my slip stitches and i just knew that that is the beginning of my arm and i would measure from there to the end mine measures about 19.5 inches just remember that as you continue your
Speaker A
sleeve you should try it on to see the length you might want it's longer or shorter so after my last double crochet and chain three i'm going to make my slip stitch right there and the hole of the double crochet
Speaker A
make a slip stitch and you chain one and cut out your yarn [Music] for the other sleeve you're going to align the arm space you're just going to align the ends and you find a hole find a space
Speaker A
where you can attach your yarn you make a knot and make sure that everything is tight i did mine three times and you just insert your hook in the next hole and pull up a loop so we're going to slip stitch
Speaker A
three times just like the last one and remember that we're doing our slip stitches in the hole of the double crochets that's the first one the second one and then the third one and you can actually do more if you wish
Speaker A
to if you think you should and from here we're going to chain three and we place our double crochet in the next hole and chain three now we go into the next hole and then we continue working around
Speaker A
do i have reached the length that i want and i'm going to make my slip stitch and after my sleep stitch chain one and cut off my yarn next you weave in your ends and that's it this is the back
Speaker A
and here is the front so that's it for this video see you guys next time bye [Music] you
