![]() The pattern includes a casing for an elastic drawstring at the hem and just a simple turned hem for the cuffs. Based on my full bust measurement, I made a size X, without any fit adjustments, however I did make some style changes to the hem and cuffs. ![]() This athleisure pattern is oversized and extra cozy. The pattern comes in so many sizes too, from children ages 2 and up to women's sizes up to a 24! I'd love to make a fleece one next, using two different colours for the yoke and the body. This pattern has some really great details including big rounded welt pockets, a front and back yoke with a half zip, and a big cozy stand up collar. It has about 40% stretch along the grain and about 30% crossgrain, which worked perfectly for the Alex Pullover pattern from Jalie that I chose to use, which required a minimum of 10% stretch. It is so cozy and has a good amount of fluff to it, and the wrong side of the fabric feels super soft against your skin which was really important to me because I didn't want to line it. ![]() It is mainly made of organic cotton ( 80% organic cotton / 20% polyester), and because of this it breathes better than 100% poly, and therefor will actually keep you more comfortable. I pre-washed it on a warm gentle cycle and tumble dried it on low. This is by far the softest sherpa I have felt. To be quite honest I had no idea you could even get this type of fabric in anything other than 100% polyester, so it was to my great surprise that is was even available in cotton, let alone ORGANIC cotton! I looked at minky fabrics and teddy, but what I really wanted was sherpa. Everything felt so synthetic and the wrong side of the fabric always felt too scratchy to be made in to an unlined jacket. My intention was to make one last winter, but I never found the right fabric for the project. The throwback style came back a couple of seasons ago, and I have been wanting to make one ever since. I'm sure you've seen cozy sherpa pullovers floating around your Pinterest or Instagram pages for a while now.
