Pattern Description:

Knit top with scarf collar either attached with a buckle, through opening at centre front or tied in a bow. Sleeveless or with short or three-quarter sleeve

Pattern Sizing:

Girls age 2 to 22 women size!

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow?

Brief but complete instructions.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

I love the scarf collar and the way it is attached is genius. You sort of roll the rest of the top inside the scarf bit and then pull it all out of one end! Sounds mad but it works and gives a very neat finish.

Fabric Used:

Lightweight cotton jersey - I made it for Christmas and it was the perfect top for cooking and moving around in. Very comfortable and festive.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

None - I made a 34 in the European size and it fitted like a dream.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

I am going to try sewing it as a dress - I think I just need to extend the length to make a lightweight, easy to wear dress. I would also like to try a top with a contrast scarf.

Conclusion:

A pattern staple - available in loads of sizes with different sleeve options and various scarf tie options. I will definitely be making more of these.

Wonderful top, this will be a must make for the new year as I really need some new work clothing. The fact that you state it is really comfortable is important to me as I need to be as comfy as possible at work! Thanks for the nice review.
