Pattern Description: Knit top with gathered front option and sleeve variations

Pattern Sizing: 4 - 16, I made the size 12 and then size 10

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

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes quite easy. I think these wrapped tops with side ruching are very easy to sew and get them to look just right. plus very flattering on the body. Simple sewing and a nice ready-to-wear look.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I really like this pattern, particularly for winter as it is a high V-neckline, so that it is not too low cut at all. I have noticed a lot of wrap front knit styles are often a bit low cut and that is kind of a pain to adjust. this is more of a closed V-neck so perfect for winter. I like the sleeve variations but have not tried anything but the plain long sleeve yet.
I like this pattern so much that I have made it 4 times in the last month.
The only issue I had with the pattern is that the shoulder seams were not in the right place, they tended to pull to the back and a bit of analysis made me think it was actually too big in the shoulders. For the last version for myself I made the size 10 instead of size 12 and the fit across the shoulders is much better.

Fabric Used: Bamboo knit, Rayon knits and Cotton-lycra knit.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: No changes made.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I am sure I will sew it again, I want to make a version with the gathered sleeves as well.

Conclusion: Perfect knit top - one of my new favorite styles with the gathered front. Kind of similar to Simplicity 1916 which I also like very much and has virtually the same fit.

Here is my Blog Post with photos of the four versions I made in December. Somehow I think there are more knit wrap tops in my future!

Cute top. I like how high the neckline is on this one.

This looks like a great pattern for some winter tops. Not to much chest exposure for the cooler weather.

I would not have considered this pattern, until I saw your tops. Really great tops!!

A lot of draped V necks are too low and gape on me ~ this higher necked version looks just the ticket.

So pretty! I agree- the high V ones are so much easier to wear. Thanks for the sizing tips.

Fantastic top - and loved the blog entry detailing all your other versions. You are a very generous friend, stitching up those tops!

I agree wtih brissie, and I, too, took a moment to admire the stripe matching--it was pretty spectacular! Looks like another one for the wishlist. Sigh....

I love this. My style of top. Your versions are perfect. I like the thicker material you made for your friend. And I'm impressed with the stripes. I probably wouldn't have undertaken that. I can't wait to get this pattern and try it.
