Introducing a women's sewing pattern for a relaxed-fit knit top featuring a distinctive crossover front design and stylish cuffed sleeves.

When To Wear

This knit top is a versatile and comfortable choice, making it perfect for:

  • Casual Everyday: A stylish yet comfortable option for daily wear and relaxed activities.
  • Relaxed Outings: Ideal for informal gatherings, casual lunches, or weekend errands.
  • Seasonal Layering: A versatile piece that can be worn alone during warmer months or layered under jackets in cooler weather.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: A relaxed-fit top with a modern, slightly cropped length for comfortable wear.

Neckline: Features a classic round neckline, finished with a facing for a clean look.

Sleeves: Short sleeves finished with cuffed details, adding a touch of casual sophistication.

Front Construction: A distinctive crossover front design with overlapping panels creates a unique layered effect at the hem.

Hem: The front hem is shaped by the crossover panels, creating an asymmetrical line, while the back hem appears straight and is finished with a trim.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Requires experience working with knit fabrics, constructing crossover panels, and accurately attaching cuffed sleeves.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose knit fabrics with medium stretch to ensure comfort and drape:

  • Medium-stretch knit fabrics (e.g., jersey, interlock, lightweight French terry)
  • Natural or blended fibers
  • Two colors for a contrasting design, as shown

Additional Supplies

No additional notions are required.

Fabric & Materials

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS: medium stretch knit fabric made of natural or blended fibers in two colors.

CUTTER'S MUST

IF THE PATTERNS HAVE A DOUBLE CONTOUR, THEY INCLUDE SEAM ALLOWANCES. IF THE CONTOUR IS SINGLE, THE PATTERNS DO NOT INCLUDE SEAM ALLOWANCES. SEAM ALLOWANCES: all seams 0.8 cm. ATTENTION! FIRST, PRINT OUT THE PAPER PATTERNS AND LAY THEM OUT ON THE FABRIC WIDTH (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH MATERIAL YOU WILL NEED (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). WHEN STITCHING PIECES, PAY ATTENTION TO THE NOTCHES - THEY MUST MATCH! MARKINGS ON THE PATTERNS ARE MADE ON THE RIGHT SIDE!

  • From main fabric:
    • Back - 1 piece on fold
    • Inner front - 1 piece
    • Upper front - 1 piece
    • Back neckline facing - 1 piece
  • From main fabric 1:
    • Cuff - 2 pieces
    • Front trim - 2 pieces
    • Back trim - 1 piece

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 stitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.

Sewing Instructions

  1. Stitch darts on the upper and inner front pieces, press the fullness upwards.
  2. Stitch shoulder seams of the inner front and facing. Press seams open. Serge, fold inwards and topstitch the outer edge of the armhole and facing.
  3. Stitch shoulder seams of the upper parts. Serge seam allowances and press towards the back. Lay the inner part of the blouse onto the main part and face the neckline. Clip seam allowances at curves, turn the inner part to the wrong side and press the neckline.
  4. Fold the front and back bottom trim pieces in half with right sides together and stitch to the bottom. Secure the inner front to the outer front along the side seams and continue to process as one piece.
