All files are PDF files that can be printed at home on Letter or A4 sized paper. Each pattern includes one file for the pattern and print-at-home pieces, and another file containing the copy shop A0 (33.1″ wide) pattern pieces. We’ve placed the pattern pieces on individual layers so you can print only the size(s) you need, saving you on paper and ink. This pattern also comes with a projector file for use with a projector in your home.
You will need light to heavy weight knit fabric with at least 40% 4-way stretch. For the Gathered Sleeves, we recommend a heavier weight fabric with less drape. For the bands, you will need a fabric with 4-way 50% stretch and great recovery. Less stretch and too much recovery will cause your neckband to not lay smoothly.
