I’m looking for knit top patterns that are more interesting than t-shirts. This is definitely not what I’m after. Most of my clothes have one glaring problem that warrants them un-wearable, but this time I combined ugly color, bad style, and poor execution. And it has those same stupid star-trek “sleeves” that my first nightgown had. They looked so normal the pattern illustration.
Technical comments for sewers –
Another problem with the pattern is the neckline. It has a facing, which will never look good or stay in place on a knit. I suspect this is done because home sewers can actually accomplish it easily. This is a Simplicity pattern, after all. The whole shirt should be lined if the goal is to have a neckline without any band or collar. It also has pleats on the shoulders which fall into a messy series of wrinkles. Gathers would look a lot better in a knit.
