A women's knit top at hip length with a high folded stand collar, a front yoke with the front gathered beneath it, and short sleeves gathered into folded cuffs. Pull-on, no fastening.

When To Wear

Office and everyday wear with skirts and trousers, or under a jacket or pinafore dress.
Spring and summer on its own; in cooler weather under a cardigan.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Close-fitting through the body, with fullness from the gathers at the front.

Length: Hip length.

Collar: High stand collar cut as one piece, stitched into a ring, folded in half lengthwise and sewn into the neckline with its seam at the left shoulder. Check that the head passes through the collar ring before sewing.

Front: Yoke across the upper chest with a curved lower edge; the front is gathered along its top edge and joined to the yoke, seam pressed up.

Sleeves: Short, one-piece, set-in; the lower edge is gathered into a cuff stitched into a ring and folded in half, which gives the puffed shape.

Back: One piece cut on the fold, no seams or darts.

Finishing: Seams serged; hem turned to the wrong side and topstitched with a twin needle or coverstitch.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Gathering into a yoke and into cuffs, a folded collar sewn into the neckline, set-in sleeves; no fastenings.

Fabric Recommendations

Knit fabric with medium stretch, made of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Twin needle (or a coverstitch machine) for the hem

Cutter's Must

From main fabric:
1. Back – 1 piece on fold
2. Front – 1 piece on fold
3. Front Yoke – 1 piece
4. Sleeve – 2 pieces
5. Collar – 1 piece
6. Cuff – 2 pieces

Attention! Before starting, check that the head can pass through the collar sewn into a ring.

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