Description
This is a PDF sewing pattern and tutorial to teach you how to create these garments. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING IN THE MAIL.
The Sunnyside Sweater is a dolman-style sweater with a generous, oversized fit. It features two hem lengths, crop and high hip, both of which are finished with a waistband to draw the garment back to the body. Alternately, the crop length has an option to finish the waistline with a double drawstring, allowing the wearer to tie the drawstrings at both sides of the waist, providing a unique and adjustable look. Opt for a traditional neckband for a classic look or choose a hood for a more casual and cozy feel. One of the standout features is the ability to create a colorblocked bodice, giving you the opportunity to mix and match different fabric prints and colors, adding a playful and personalized touch to your sweater.
Pattern options for the Sunnyside Sweater includes:
- Necklines: Crew Neckline / Lined + Unlined Hoods
- Hem Lengths: Banded Cropped / Drawstring Cropped / Banded High Hip
- Colorblocked + Solid Bodice Options
- All Versions Feature a Drop-Shoulder Dolman Sleeve with Cuffs
The Sunnyside Sweater pattern is drafted for light-to-medium weight knit fabrics with no specific stretch requirements for the bodice. Due to the oversized design of the pattern, fabrics that drape nicely will work best. For bands, use a knit fabric with at least 75% stretch and good recovery.
Specific Fabric Suggestions: Sweater Knits, Ribbed Sweater Knits, Spandex French Terry Blends, Waffle Knits, Brushed Waffle Knits, Double Brushed Polyester, Modal Knit Blends, etc.
