Paneled Sweatshirt with Shaped Hem

When To Wear

In autumn, winter and spring, with jeans, leggings or slim trousers.
Every day and for travel, worn loose over the waistband.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Loose, with yokes over the shoulders and long sleeves.

Length: Hip length; the centre front panel is longer and rounded, the back hem is shaped by the inserts.

Neckline: Round neckline finished with interfaced front and back facings, turned to the inside and tacked to the shoulder seams.

Front: Centre front panel joined to the side fronts by vertical seams pressed towards the centre. The side fronts continue round the side and join the back.

Sleeves: Long sleeves stitched to the lower part of the armhole; the yokes cover the top of the sleeves. Interfaced cuffs sewn into a ring, folded in half and stretched onto the sleeve.

Back: Back yoke and one back piece.

Finishing: Inserts folded in half lengthwise, closed at one short end and stitched to the lower edge of the back and side fronts, forming angled points at the hem. Back and centre front hems turned up 2 cm and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Many panels to match on knit fabric, folded hem inserts stitched exactly to the marked seam line, and sleeves joined to a partial armhole under the yoke.

Fabric Recommendations

Low-stretch knit of natural or blended fibres.
