Looking for a knit turtleneck pattern
jynclr   Advanced Beginner TX USA Member since 12/20/11 Posts: 839	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 9/26/12 1:44 PM I am looking for a knit turtle neck pattern. I am not liking what I am finding in the stores regarding ready to wear clothing. I shopped the "big" four online and found this very nice Vogue V8670 turtleneck. (I also find it intriguing because it has a "baseball jersey" styled top as well.) However, I am looking for a more traditional, plain turtle neck knit that doesn't cling to the body. I also don't want the neck to "droop" like a cowl or a drape, and I like both styles where the neck either folds over for a double layer, or a single band collar turtleneck. I would like it to become a tried and true pattern. Okay, so. As I was typing this, I looked on the Burda Style site and didn't see anything. (Although, I did see this cute empire waist shirt that I may get also. Talk about going in the opposite direction for the neckline! ) Would anyone know of a pattern company that would have a nice basic turtleneck pattern? Thank you for your help. -- Edited on 9/26/12 1:46 PM -- ------ Evelyn: Pfaff Creative Performance Helen V: Babylock Companion BL1550

You can probably find it on Etsy... It has a sleeveless turtleneck shell but the long sleeves from the cardigan work just fine with the shell pattern. There is also this pattern, looks very similar but I haven't tried it Kwik Sew 3093 ------ Sewing is my therapy!

Because the pattern includes the entire size range, it's easy to blend lines as you trace to get the fit you need. The Jalie patterns I've used have really nice lines and have become my TNT for T's, cardis, and surplice tops.

To read them, just type 3093 into the search box on the upper left of the screen. It seems a very good pattern. -- Edited on 9/26/12 2:51 PM --

I think for right now the Kwik Sew 3093 is the exact thing I am looking for right now. It also appears to be, seriously, a "quick sew." Awesome, thank you all so much for the suggestion! I missed that in my searches. ------ Evelyn: Pfaff Creative Performance Helen V: Babylock Companion BL1550

Debra Zebra I like it because there is less fabric in the neckline ad the height is adjustable...I didn't sew the neck down, so I can fold it where I like. ------ 2009-113.25 yds 2010-115.5 2011-80.25+30+donated 2012 86.3 yds.. 2013 21.0 Everyone who sews seriously has a stockpile of fabrics, because it is natural to purchase more than can be sewn in any one season" Singer, Timesaving Sewing, 1987

You raise the neckline the amount of the finished ribbing, then add your turtleneck. When you make the turtleneck, add a little extra at the SA, then try it on (before sewing to shirt) and see if it's too tight, too loose or too high. In the good old days of Stretch&Sew you used the same pattern for all the necklines, just raising or lowering them. ------ My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.
