Fancy Tiger Crafts - Hosta Tea & Sweatshirt Sewing Pattern

Fancy Tiger Crafts

Regular price £21.00 Sale

Hosta is a drop sleeve, easy-going, every day top. It’s simple enough to make in an afternoon, and cozy enough to wear every day. Three versions--a boxy tee, a long sleeve sweatshirt, and a funnel neck top--means that there is a Hosta for any season. Dress yours up with a chunky necklace, or dress it down to wear it by the campfire.

This beginner friendly pattern is a great introduction to working with stretch fabrics. Mix and match the sleeves and neckline for even more variations! The size range includes XS–4X (32"–56" bust).

Difficulty: Beginner

Suggested Fabrics
Light to heavy weight knit fabric with 30%+ stretch. Jersey, French Terry, large loop terry, rib knit, sweater knit. For less stretchy fabric, use a coordinating ribbing for the neckband.

View C (Funnel Neck): Mid-weight to heavier weight knits with a bit of structure. This will help the funnel neck stand up. A stretch interfacing in the funnel neck can also add structure.

Optional: 1 yd clear elastic. (For very stretchy knits, clear elastic stabilises the shoulder seam.)
