Jyde Sweatshirt Sewing Pattern

Jyde Sweatshirt is a relaxed, drop-shoulder crew-neck sweatshirt with a ribbed neckband, cuffs and waistband. It is designed for everyday wear: cosy at home, easy to dress up or down, and a satisfying make to repeat in different fabrics.

Pattern features:

• Relaxed drop-shoulder fit
• Crew neckline
• Ribbed neckband, cuffs and waistband
• Three sleeve lengths: Petite, Normal and Long
• Five sizes: Small, Medium, Large, X-Large and XX-Large
• Six pattern pieces: Front, Back, Sleeve, Waist/Hem Ribbing, Cuff Ribbing and Neck Ribbing
• 1/2 in (1.25 cm) seam allowance included throughout
• Confident beginner to intermediate skill level
• Approximate sewing time: 4 to 8 hours, depending on skill level and experience with stretch fabrics

Choosing your size: choose your size by your bust measurement. Jyde has a relaxed fit with approximately 6 in (15 cm) of room at the chest. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for a roomier fit or the smaller size for a closer fit.
