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.

For this pattern you will want heavier weight (bottom weight) knit fabric with 30% horizontal and vertical stretch. Sweatshirt Fleece, Cotton French Terry, and similar fabrics would be great choices.
