Square Neck Long Sleeve Knit Top

Introducing a women's sewing pattern for a contemporary long-sleeve knit top, distinguished by its unique square neckline and fitted silhouette.

When To Wear

This versatile knit top is perfect for a variety of casual to smart-casual settings, offering comfort and style for:

  • Everyday Comfort: Ideal for daily wear, providing a chic yet comfortable option for errands or relaxed outings.
  • Layering Essential: a perfect base layer under cardigans, jackets, or blazers for added warmth and style.
  • Smart Casual Chic: Easily dressed up with tailored trousers or skirts for a polished yet comfortable look.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: a close-fitting, contemporary silhouette that gently follows the body's curves.

Neckline: a prominent square neckline at the front, featuring an internal placket/facing construction for a clean, structured finish, transitioning to a soft round back neckline.

Sleeves: Classic long sleeves, set into comfortable armholes, finishing at the wrist.

Hem: a straight bottom hem designed for a neat finish, perfect for tucking in or wearing out.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Involves working with knit fabrics, precise neckline construction with interfacing, and finishing techniques like twin needle topstitching or serging.

Fabric Recommendations

For the best drape and comfort, choose a knit fabric with moderate stretch:

  • Soft knit fabric with medium stretch, made from natural or blended fibers

Additional Supplies

  • Knit fusible interfacing

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. Seam allowances: all seams - 1.0 cm; hem allowance for the bottom of the garment and sleeve - 2 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need.

  • From main fabric:
    • Back – 1 piece on fold
    • Front – 1 piece on fold
    • Front placket 1 – 2 pieces
    • Front placket 2 – 1 piece
    • Sleeve – 2 pieces
    • Back neckline facing – 2 pieces
  • From fusible interfacing:
    • Front placket 1 – 2 pieces
    • Front placket 2 – 1 piece
    • Back neckline facing – 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.

  1. Fuse interfacing to the designated pieces.
  2. Press front placket 2 lengthwise in the middle, right side out. Fold front placket 1 lengthwise in the middle, right side in, insert placket 2 between the pieces and stitch. Turn the piece right side out, straighten, and press.
  3. Fold back neckline facing pieces right sides together and stitch the neckline edge, starting and ending the stitch precisely at the shoulder seam line. Stitch the shoulder seam of the back neckline facing and front placket 1, inserting the placket between the facing pieces. Turn the piece right side out, straighten, and press.
  4. Stitch shoulder and side seams, press allowances towards the back and serge.
  5. Stitch the neckline facing and front plackets into the main garment neckline, press allowances and serge.
  6. Stitch the sleeve seam, press allowances towards the back and serge. Set sleeves into armholes, matching notches, press allowances and serge.
  7. Serge the hem allowance of the bottom and sleeves, fold to the wrong side and topstitch.
