Vanessa is a fun knit pattern with a wide v-neck. Choose from 2 neckline options: on-the-shoulder or off-the-shoulder. The off-the-shoulder can be worn off of one shoulder OR off both shoulders. The hemmed tunic option is perfect to pair with leggings. Choose from a short or tall banded top. Wear the top band at the high hips to create a ‘puffed’ look or lower on the hips. There are 3 dress length options: mini, dress, or midi. All dress options are designed for the bodice to blouse over the skirt to create a very flattering silhouette. 4 sleeves are included a fitted cuffed 3/4, fitted cuffed long, lantern, or a fun color-blocked lantern sleeve that is perfect for using scrap and coordinating fabrics. Vanessa is your new go-to for date night, events, or as an everyday sweater!

Suggested Fabrics:

• •Fabric content will affect the drape and fit.
• •Drafted for light to medium weight knits with at least 40% stretch, good drape, and good recovery.
  • •Sweater knits, rib knits, some thicker waffle knits, rayon french terry blends, etc.
  • •Knits that have less recovery, such as rayon spandex and some waffle knits tend to ‘grow with wear’ and may fit looser/larger and the neckband will stretch out more/look looser. They may be used but you may prefer to size down with these fabrics.

Notions:

• •Dress option: clear elastic for waist seam.
• •Optional: clear elastic to stabilize shoulder seams.
• •Basics: thread, pins or clips, scissors, ruler, hem gauge. Ballpoint, stretch, or jersey needle.
