For the office or everyday wear in place of a jumper and scarf: the high collar covers the neck.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Semi-fitted, straight from the hip.

Length: Hip length.

Collar: A high double-layer collar with angled edges, its overlapping end forming a point at the centre front. Pleats laid at the collar end are caught into a narrow interfaced placket that fastens with two buttons near the shoulder.

Sleeves: Three-quarter kimono sleeves cut in one with the upper front and upper back, seamed together with the side seams; folded cuffs stitched into a ring and slightly stretched onto the sleeve.

Front: Upper front and lower front joined by a seam that curves down towards the centre; bust darts in the lower front. Both pieces cut on the fold.

Back: Upper and lower back joined by a horizontal seam across the upper back; both pieces cut on the fold.

Finishing: Yoke seams overlocked and pressed up; neckline allowance pressed onto the garment and topstitched; 1.5 cm hem turned up and topstitched with a twin needle; seam allowances 1 cm. Seams are sewn with a stretch or narrow zigzag stitch.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Knit fabric throughout, a bagged collar with pleats set into a placket, cuffs stretched onto the sleeves and two buttonholes on a knit.

Fabric Recommendations

Knit fabric with low to medium stretch, in natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing for knits (collar, cuffs, placket)

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. Hem allowance - 1.5 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

- Upper back - 1 piece on fold
- Lower back - 1 piece on fold
- Upper front – 1 piece on fold
- Lower front – 1 piece on fold
- Collar – 2 pieces
- Cuff – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics 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.
