Under cardigans and jackets; short sleeves for summer, long sleeves for autumn and winter.

Key Design Features

Length: Hip length, with a slightly curved hem.

Neckline: Square, with slightly rounded corners; the edge is overlocked, turned to the wrong side and topstitched.

Sleeves: Set-in sleeves; short, three-quarter and long lengths are shown, each with a topstitched hem.

Back: One piece, no centre back seam.

Finishing: Seams sewn with a stretch or narrow zigzag stitch, overlocked and pressed towards the back; hems topstitched with a twin needle.

Level Of Difficulty

Cutting Plan

From main fabric:
Back – 1 piece

Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.6 – 0.8 cm. Hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity.
