-For instruction, you could watch my YouTube video.

Important: This file was modified on July 3, 2022.  The arm openings on the pattern were too wide so they were corrected on the newer version. The newer version yields the top that’s in the thumbnail of the video. 

(Basically, I made the pattern first and started filming, and though I made fit modifications along the way to finish the garment, I forgot to copy some of the modifications onto the pattern to reflect the changes I made.) 

This is a free download and only comes in one size.  It’s designed to fit very loosely on someone with 34”-36” bust. To adjust the size, please watch this video.

The neckline opening is modest and just big enough to go over 22 1/2” head. (That’s my head size and I can put the top on while wearing glasses). 

Please don’t use the pattern for commercial use.

To save some paper, skip printing page 15 & 16 since there are no pattern lines on them. 

Pattern Layout (the number is the page number)

Some of my older videos use the earlier version of this pattern.  I think I usually end up correcting the armhole smaller in those videos, but for those of you who are confused by this (I’m so sorry! ) the difference is shown in the photo below.  Red lines drawn on the older version are the new finishing lines of the newer version of the pattern.

Once you print the pattern, tape it up, and adjust its size to your personal size, why not make the most of it and make more things! You can make these items below using the same simple top pattern and making small changes to it.

I sewed a couple of pairs of socks for my 6-year-old daughter, whose socks are always getting holes in the same place after several wears.  I thought well-fitting socks might have better chance of survival... 

The pattern is only in my daughter's size, which is US Kids' size 2.  A finished sock measures 8 1/4" (20cm) from the tip of the big toe to the heel.

I think you can adjust the sizes a little by shrinking & enlarging in printing. 

Please remember that every knit fabric is different and the fit will greatly depend on that, too.

However, the pattern only works with stretch fabric with more than 30 % stretch.

*Please don't use the pattern for commercial use. 

If you make a pair and decides to share on instagram, please tag me @sachidonguri so I can see it too!

You can watch the video to find out how to draft your own pattern from your measurements, but if you particularly like my version of hat, you can download my digitized pattern.  It’s a freepattern, and only comes in my size (22 1/2” or 57cm head circumference with some ease).  To change the size,  you can grade the pattern, or shrink/enlarge when printing out.  If you change the pattern size in printing, remember to adjust the seam allowance width before cutting out fabric.

I hope you enjoy!
