Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight body gathered into a rib hem band.

Neckline: Hood of two side pieces and a centre panel; the hood facing is topstitched to form a casing, and a cord comes out through two eyelets at the front.

Sleeves: Set-in sleeves cut in five pieces, with V-shaped seams that continue the colour blocks of the body; rib cuffs folded in half, the sleeve eased into them.

Closure: Separating zip from the hem band to the neckline; the band ends are wrapped around the zip.

Front: Each front is divided into upper, middle and lower parts by seams that form a V across the chest, plus a side front panel.

Pockets: In-seam pockets in the vertical seams between the lower fronts and the side front panels.

Back: Upper, middle and lower back, each cut on the fold, joined by V-shaped seams that mirror the front.

Finishing: Seams overlocked and pressed toward the upper pieces, the back or the hood.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Matching the angled colour-block seams at the zip and side seams, in-seam pockets, a separating zip in knit fabric, and a hood with a drawcord casing.

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched 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 stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.

Stitch the Upper Back to the Middle Back, press seam allowances upwards and overlock. Stitch the Middle Back to the Lower Back, press seam allowances upwards and overlock.
Stitch the Pocket Bags to the Lower Front pieces. Stitch the vertical seams joining the Lower Front and the Front Side, stitching around the pocket bags at the same time. Press seam allowances towards the center front and overlock.
Stitch the Upper Front to the Middle Front, press seam allowances upwards and overlock. Stitch the Middle Front to the Lower Front, press seam allowances upwards and overlock.
Stitch shoulder and side seams, press seam allowances towards the back and overlock.
Stitch the Hood pieces to the Center Hood, press seam allowances towards the Center Hood and overlock. Set the eyelets at the markings. Overlock the inner edge of the Hood Facing. Place the Hood Facing on the hood, right sides together, and stitch along the outer edge. Clip the seam allowances on the curves and turn the facing to the wrong side. Topstitch the Hood Facing to the hood, forming a drawstring casing.
Insert the hood into the neckline, press seam allowances towards the hood and overlock.
Overlock the center front edges. Overlock one long edge of the Lower Placket (hem band). Stitch the unfinished edge of the band to the lower edge of the jacket, slightly stretching the band. Insert the separating zipper. Wrap the ends of the band around the zipper and stitch them into the zipper seam. Turn the band to the inside and stitch in the ditch of the band attachment seam.
Stitch the Middle Back Sleeve to the Lower Back Sleeve, press seam allowances upwards and overlock. Stitch the Middle Front Sleeve to the Lower Front Sleeve, press seam allowances upwards and overlock. Stitch the Upper Sleeve to the Middle Front Sleeve, press seam allowances upwards and overlock. Stitch the overarm sleeve seam, press seam allowances towards the back and overlock. Stitch the underarm sleeve seam, press seam allowances towards the back and overlock.
Set sleeves into armholes, press seam allowances and overlock.
Stitch each Cuff into a ring. Fold the Cuff lengthwise in half, wrong sides together, and press. Stitch the Cuff to the sleeve, easing in the sleeve, and overlock the seam allowances.
Thread the cord through the hood casing.
