Description

The comfy and easy sweatshirt sewing pattern Chestnut and top comes with two different options and lots of possibilities to play around with.

In general, you can opt for the sweater with three bow options or the top with the same alternatives. Firstly, version A of either of them has a lovely circular opening at the back that closes with a big bow. Meanwhile, version B sports four bows at the back closing the bodice. And option C offers a more subtle bow alternative with a nice slit or vent at the shoulder.

In addition, the top has a slightly longer back and two slits at either side; whereas the sweater offers two sleeve lengths: 3/4 and long sleeves. To sum up, take a good look at all the options and pieces on before you decide.

The sweatshirt sewing pattern Chestnut and top features lots of detailed instructions, technical drawings and tips to get the best results when working with knit fabrics. The pattern will become a staple, with a twist, in your handmade wardrobe. And you can also make one for a little girl thanks to the Chestnut sweater and top mini version for kids age 3 to 12.

You can also learn how to sew the sewing pattern on our YouTube Channel.
