Description

The Visby Henley + Top will become your favorite wardrobe staple. Wear this long sleeve pullover by itself on a warm day, or as a base layer underneath a snuggly sweater on a cool night. The Visby comes as a classic henley, but you also have the option to add a hood or skip the buttoned placket altogether. You also have the choice to add a bottom band.

Pattern features:

• Comfortable pullover designed for knit fabric
• Sporty cuffed long raglan sleeve
• Layers feature (print only the sizes you need)

Suggested Fabrics

Primary fabric: lightweight four-way stretch knit fabric with at least 50% horizontal stretch and 50% vertical stretch. French terry, cotton Lycra jersey and other cotton blend jersey are good choices. Slightly heavier weight knit can be used in View B only but not in Views A and C because the intersection of the placket and neckband/hood can become too bulky with thicker fabric. You can choose to color block the top by using different fabric for the front, back, sleeves, cuffs, neckband, hood and placket; use similar knit fabric for all these parts. Interfacing: very lightweight fusible woven or weft insertion interfacing for Views A and C (View B does not require interfacing).

Notions

• Four 3/8” (1 cm) buttons for Views A and C

Choosing your Size

• Compare your bust circumference (fullest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your bust.
• Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist.
• Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your hip.
• If you are between sizes for the bust, waist or hip, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size. It’s OK to use different sizes. See instructions for details.
• If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the top. See instructions for details.
• It is highly recommended that you check your fit by making a test garment with inexpensive fabrics that have similar weight and stretch as your final garment fabrics.
