  • Description

    This classic knit, cowl-neck top is both flattering to wear and easy to sew. View A includes long sleeves and a wide, topstitched back facing while View B features short sleeves and a narrow, bias-cut back facing. Combine or switch these elements to make your perfect top. The pattern includes cup sizes to help you get the perfect fit, and it can be sewn from lightweight drapey knits for a casual, professional, or dressy look.

    Suggested Fabrics

    This pattern works best with knit fabrics like lightweight cotton, rayon, or silk jersey. If you choose to use a heavier knit, you may want to cut the front on bias to give the cowl more drape, which could require extra fabric.

    Notions

    Coordinating thread, double needle (optional), featherweight fusible interfacing (View A only).

      Really classy top
    Reviewed by Jessica N Busch Sipos on 05/21/2024
    I love cowl necks so took the plunge to try and sew with knits (which intimidate me--I usually use linen or cotton). I had an inexpensive knit in a beautiful teal to try the pattern on. I elected to make a short-sleeved version. All in all, it was very simple to make and turned out beautifully, even though I didn't quite get the rear facing/neckline done right (I just topstitched over my mistake and that helped) and I didn't follow notches closely enough when setting the sleeves, so they pucker a little. That is all on my user error, though. The shirt looks great. I'll try the long-sleeve version with a sturdier knit.

    This is a good easy pattern. Made one and will definitely make another as I like this style.

    What a super top! It was very easy and quick to make and Liesl’s instructions as always were simple to follow. It’s so easy to wear - I’ve dressed it up for smart-casual and worn it with jeans for dress-down days, Thanks Liesl :-)

    I love cowl necks and needed a dress for an occasion, so I lengthened the top and elasticated the waist then added a tie belt - it looks fantastic! Will make the top soon, might make the cowl a bit fuller..... looking forward to making up other Liesl+co patterns

    I love this cowl neck top so much I am going to make a second one. I’ve bought several digital patterns and this one is by far the clearest. Directions are also well written and support the confident beginner’s experience level. I will definitely buy another pattern from Liesl&co!

      Great pattern!

    Such a great pattern, can be dressed up or down depending on fabric choice. Uses a minimal amount of fabric and the instructions are great as usual.
