Digital Sewing Pattern (Sizes 00-32)

Inspired by the boldly striped polo tees of the 70’s, the Siskin Top is the boxy knit top that goes with everything. This semi-cropped top features a crossover V-neckline finished with wide knit bands, onto which an optional collar can be sewn.

View A offers long sleeves, while the View B sleeves land right above the elbow. Both sleeve lengths are finished with stretchy knit bands. View C is a sleeveless top whose armholes are finished with wide, tapered knit bands. A wide hem band brings in the waist of all three views. With the optional collar, six different views are available.

The Siskin Top is graded from sizes 00 to 32 and drafted for a height of 5’7” (170 cm). Choose your size based either on your full bust measurement, and grade in or out at the waist if necessary. If your measurements fall between sizes, size up.
