Suggested Fabrics:

  • •Fabric content will affect the drape and fit. Drafted for light to medium weight 4 way knit with at least 30% stretch. 2-way stretch fabrics are not recommended.
    • •Sweater knits, rib knits, modal, and rayon blends are recommended for a looser drapey top, perfect for athletic or leisurewear.
    • •A looser sweater knit will give a slouchier look and some sweater knits may ‘grow’ in length and width with wear.
    • •A knit with less stretch or a lot of recovery, or a knit with more structure, such as cotton lycra, DBP, stretch velvets, and rayon french terry, will look more fitted and have more structure.

Notions:

  • •Tank top option: 3/8″ clear elastic.
  • •Optional: 1/2″ wash away hem tape, knit twin needle, 1/4″ or 3/8″ clear elastic.
  • •Basics: thread, pins or clips, scissors, ruler, hem gauge, and marking tool. Ballpoint, stretch, or jersey needle.

  1. Debra Rizzo (verified owner) –

    Generally really like your patterns. Maybe it’s me but didn’t see the notches at the neckline necessary to line things up to do the twist back which I found very hard to follow. It’s a cute top but I’m kind of disappointed

  2. Carin Rinkenberger (verified owner) –

    This was my first M4M pattern, and still a favorite! I was looking for a cute, nursing friendly top, and this definitely fit the bill. Instructions and pattern for the crossover were easy to follow, though I haven’t tried the twist yet. And my measured size was a great fit!

  3. Patty –

    This is one of my favorites! I’ve made it true to size with rib knit and sized up to make slouchy sweaters from hacci. Watch the video that’s linked in the tutorial if you’re making the twist! Even after making it several times, I still go step by step with the video so I don’t make a mistake. Love this pattern!
