Knit Collared Wrap Top with Long Cuffed Sleeves

A women's pull-on top for knit fabric with a wrap front, a high folded stand collar over a gathered front neckline, and long full raglan sleeves gathered into cuffs.

When To Wear

In autumn and winter with trousers, jeans or a straight skirt.
For the office or a day out, tucked in or worn loose.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Semi-fitted body with full sleeves, cut for stretch fabric.

Length: Hip length.

Collar: High stand collar folded in half and stretched onto the neckline; it is closed into a loop with its seam at the left sleeve dart. The front neckline is gathered into the collar.

Front: Two fronts with hemmed wrap edges; the right front laps over the left and both are caught in the side seams. No fastenings: the top pulls on over the head.

Sleeves: Long raglan sleeves with a shoulder dart, gathered at the wrist into folded cuffs. The underarm seam and side seam are stitched in one.

Back: One piece, with no centre back seam.

Finishing: Hem overlocked, turned and topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine. Wrap edge allowance 1.5 cm.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Raglan seams, gathering, a folded collar and cuffs on knit fabric; the only fiddly step is the collar, partly stitched between marks before it is closed into a loop.

Fabric Recommendations

Knit fabric with medium stretch, from natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

No notions are needed.

Cutting Plan

From main fabric:
- Back – 1 piece
- Front – 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Collar – 1 piece
- Cuff – 2 pieces

Attention! Before you begin, check that your head fits through the collar once it is sewn into a loop.

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics should be sewn with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. The hem allowance should be topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also sew the pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.

Sewing Instructions

Stitch the shoulder dart on each Sleeve. Trim the dart allowance to 0.7 cm with the overlocker.
Overlock the wrap edge of each Front, press to the wrong side, and topstitch. Overlap the right Front over the left and baste them together along the side edges.
Stitch the back raglan edges of the Sleeves to the Back and the front raglan edges to the Fronts. Press the seam allowances towards the sleeve and overlock.
Stitch the underarm sleeve seam and the side seam in one continuous seam. Press the seam allowances towards the Back and overlock.
Along the front neckline, sew a row of long, loose stitches and gather.
Fold the collar in half lengthwise, right sides together, and stitch the section between the “o” marks. Clip the seam allowances at the mark, turn the collar right side out. Stitch the collar into a loop. Turn the collar right side out and press. Fold the collar in half, wrong sides together. Attach the collar to the neckline, aligning the notches and stretching the collar edge. Position the collar seam at the shoulder dart of the left sleeve. Press the collar attachment seam.
Stitch the cuff into a loop, turn right side out, and press. Fold the cuff in half, wrong sides together. Along the lower edge of the sleeve, sew a row of long, loose stitches and gather to the length of the cuff. Attach the cuff to the lower edge of the sleeve, press the seam allowances.
Overlock the lower edge of the garment, press to the wrong side, and topstitch.
