Knit Top

(Itch-to-Stitch.com)

Skill level

This top is easy and is sewn completely by machine.

Size range and fitting

The loose-fitting pullover is tailored for a 5-foot 6-inch person and comes in sizes 00 thru 40, for busts 31 inches to 63 inches, waist 25-1/2 inches to 54-1/4 inches, and hips 33 inches to 62 inches. Size 6 has 6-1/2 inches of ease at the bust. To accommodate various body shapes, two PDF patterns are included: sizes 00 thru 20 and 16 thru 40. Each PDF provides a separate front pattern for regular and full-bust options.

Fabrics

Designed for drapey, lightweight knits that enable the front bodice gathers to fall gracefully. Use silk, rayon, viscose, bamboo jersey, French terry, or ITY.  Depending on fabric choice, it can be worn for casual to more dressy occasions. Solids, prints, or a combination of them work well.

Style and sewing details

The boatneck top has curved, self-lined yokes that extend into short sleeves. The neckline and yoke curves complement each other. The front bodice is gathered into the yoke, while the back remains flat.

• This versatile garment can be worn under a blazer, on its own, tucked in or out. It’s a wardrobe staple you’ll reach for often.

• The body measurements and the finished garment measurements charts make it easy to find your best fit.

• Markings and match points are accurate, and matching seams are the same length. Illustrations are clear and easy to follow.

• Be sure to read all the instructions carefully so that the front and back yokes and facings are cut at the correct lengths according to the illustrations.

• The yoke facings are cut 3/4 inch shorter on each end, to reduce bulk when turning back the cut-on sleeve hem allowances.

• The pattern is color-coded to help in selecting the size needed. Alternatively, deselect any layers that aren’t needed.
