Meet the Hepburn Top! I designed this knit pattern to fill the need for a basic top in every woman’s wardrobe (think Audrey Hepburn wearing a chic black top with capri pants in Sabrina). And then, because I just can’t stop myself, I added a ton of design options to take this top from gamine chic to sassy secretary and everything in between. With five sleeve choices and five neckline/collar options, you can make a top for just about every occasion with this pattern. I’ve gotten so many requests for patterns for knits and separates, and I’m happy to say this pattern fulfills both those needs. This pattern was drafted for a stable knit, meaning that it will be easy to sew and will also flatter your curves.
