Suggested fabrics: Medium weight knit fabric, such as cotton/Lycra french terry, sweatshirt fleece, etc. You need fabric with at least 30% stretch, and closer to 50% is best. Lighter fabrics such as cotton/Lycra jersey can be used but will result in a looser fit garment.

This pattern is designed to use the main fabric for all parts of the garment. If you prefer, you can use ribbing for the cuffs, bottom strip and neck strip. Make sure it has excellent stretch and recovery (returns to its original shape and size after stretching) and isn’t too light when compared to your main fabric.

Fabric requirements: 140 cm (55″) wide fabric: Short, 30 - 110 cm (3/8 - 1 1/4 yd) // Long, 60 - 160 cm (5/8 - 1 3/4 yd).

Sizing: Preemie/small newborn – 12 years. Please check the size chart.

Notions: For optional button/snap closure: a scrap of medium weight fusible interfacing; 10-15 mm buttons or 8-12 mm snaps. The number of buttons/snaps will depend on the size and option you are making.

PDF pattern includes: Instructions; A4/legal/letter print-at-home pattern (18 pages); A0 copy shop pattern (1 sheet) // Layers: Yes // Projector file: Yes.
