A simple and stylish finish for jersey tops.
A new style I designed in jersey called THE TUNIC features a twisted band at the neck and armholes. It looks complicated but is actually incredibly easy, here's how you do it...
Follow the pattern instructions for THE TUNIC to step 3.

You Will Need
-
Step 1Press the seam toward the band.
-
Step 2Join the remaining shoulder seam.
-
Step 3Press under 1cm along the long free edge of the band.
-
Step 4Fold the band toward the inside of the garment and slip stitch the pressed folded edge to the seam moving the edge 2 cm to the right of where it would naturally sit.
-
Step 5Once complete DO NOT PRESS the outer edge as this spoils the effect. On the body any puckering around the neck seam will disappear under the weight of the garment.
