Finishing: Folded rib hem band with its seam at the left side seam; seam allowances serged.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Few pieces and no fastenings; the work is raglan seams, a faced hood with a drawstring casing and two buttonholes, and rib bands sewn on with slight stretch.

Additional Supplies

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. Seam allowances: all seams – 1 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

From main fabric:
- Back – 1 piece (on fold)
- Front – 1 piece (on fold)
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Pocket – 1 piece
- Hood – 2 pieces
- Center Hood – 1 piece
- Hood Facing – 1 piece
From rib knit (or high-stretch knit):
- Hem Facing – 1 piece
- Cuff – 2 pieces

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. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.6–0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity.

Serge the edge of the cut-on facing of the Pocket opening. Press the facing to the wrong side and topstitch. Serge the remaining Pocket edges and press the side and lower edges to the wrong side. Place the Pocket on the Front, right sides together, along the upper pocket marking line (the lower edge of the Pocket pointing towards the neckline) and stitch. Turn the Pocket down and topstitch it to the Front along the sides.
Stitch the Sleeves to the Back, press allowances towards the Sleeve and serge. Stitch the Sleeves to the Front, press allowances towards the Sleeve and serge.
Stitch the sleeve seam and the side seam in one continuous seam, press allowances towards the back and serge.
Stitch the Center Hood to the Hood pieces, press allowances towards the Center Hood and serge. Make the buttonholes for the cord. Stitch the hood into the neckline, press allowances and serge.
Serge the inner edge of the Hood Facing. Place the facing on the hood, right sides together, and stitch along the outer edge. Clip allowances at the curves, turn the facing to the wrong side and press. Topstitch the facing to the hood, forming a casing.
Stitch each Cuff into a ring, press allowances open. Fold the Cuff in half lengthwise, right side out, and press. Stitch the Cuff to the lower edge of the Sleeve, stretching it slightly. Press allowances and serge.
Stitch the Hem Facing into a ring, press allowances open. Fold it in half lengthwise, right side out, and press. Stitch it to the lower edge of the garment, placing its seam at the left side seam and stretching it slightly. Press allowances and serge.
Thread the cord through the hood casing and attach the cord ends.
