The Square Neck Top is a boxy dolman sleeved top with a square neckline and slightly cropped hem. You can of course adjust the hemline to your comfort! A great beginner sewing pattern, it includes pattern pieces to make the top from a knit or woven fabric, as well as front pieces drafted for an A/B cup or a C/D cup. The pattern was drafted for a height of 5’6″.
Sewing Level Confident beginner
Size Range XS – 7X
Suggested fabrics Knit version: Knit fabrics with at least 20% 4-way stretch are suitable. Cotton jersey, rib knits and lightweight french terry would be great. Generally, sturdier knits are easier to work with and drapier, thinner knits are a little more difficult.
Woven version: Woven fabrics including linen, cotton, rayon and silk. The fabric you choose will affect how your top looks. If you choose a drapey fabric like a rayon or silk you will have more of a blouse-y look. If you choose something like linen it will have a more structured vibe.
