A Vera knit top with lace sleeves

 

I adapted the FREE Vera Knit Top from Forget-Me-Not patterns for this knit top above.

Vera - Knit top (Free PDF pattern) - Forget-me-not Patterns (forgetmenotpatterns.com)

For my version I cut the body and cuffs from a solid black viscose jersey and the sleeves from a stretch lace. I lengthened the sleeves by 3 inches and adapted the cuff for my wrist. I also altered the V neck to a scoop neck and cut the ends off the neckband piece which I then seamed at the back.

Pink Vera Knit Top

This is the FREE Vera Knit Top from Forget-Me-Not Patterns.

I used a mystery pink knit from stash. As this didn't have a lot of stretch and I don't like my tee shirts to have negative ease (ie to rely on the elastane/lycra to stretch to fit) I sized up but used a 1cm seam allowance instead of 6mm. However it is quite loose in the body so I might not do that in future.


I love the gathered sleeves into the long cuffs and the neat V neckline. It also has a slight high-low hem line which is flattering.
