Skill Level: Beginner

Recommended Fabrics:
This pattern will work equally well with jersey fabrics, sweater knits and stable knits. Your fabric should have at least 20% stretch. Please note that if you use a fabric with more than 40% stretch the fit will be slightly looser.

To test for stretch percentage, use the ruler on the back of the packaging, or measure a swatch width (normal width, a), then stretch it to its maximum and measure again (stretched width, b). Calculate: b divided by a minus 1. This is your stretch percentage. 

Materials Needed:

• Stretch knit fabric
• Clear elastic, twill tape or stay tape for stabilizing the shoulder seams (optional)
• Twin needle for hemming (optional)
• Contrast fabric or leather for pockets (optional)
