FABRIC SUGGESTIONS

Stretch knit fabrics such as sweater, cable, ribbed, waffle or jacquard knits, or French terry. If your main fabric has less than 20% stretch, get 1m (1 1/8yd) ribbing for the neckband, button stands, hem band, and cuffs. For tie-front version, choose a lightweight knit and test sew a pair of ties to check they’re not too bulky.
