Skill Level: Intermediate

Size Range: XS (29” bust) – XXL (51” bust) This pattern comes with plenty of ease. Check the finished measurements of your size and, if necessary, select a size smaller if you would like the garment to be more fitted.

Recommended Fabric: Choose a medium weight or heavy fabric with 20-40% stretch. Sweatshirt Jersey, French Terry, Cable Knit or Chunky Knit. Be careful with fabrics that are very drapey and soft as they might make the pockets look untidy. In such case, consider omitting the front pockets.
For the pocket bags, pick a medium weight sturdy knit fabric that matches your main fabric. Ponte is a great choice, but make sure your pocket bag fabric isn’t heavier than the main fabric. You can also use your main fabric for the  pocket bags.
