Pattern Puzzle - Asymmetric Jersey Top


The sketch below is a trend research from 2009 for knitwear, Summer 2011.  I'm usually not a fan of overtly asymmetric cutting and will always feel a little odd if one sleeve is so much shorter than the other.  But with this design I am strangely compelled to give it a chance.  I think it may look interesting using different knits for each of the panels.


You'll find all the pattern making detail on the website blog.

    2. I have now experienced the Russia blogs enough to know that I would prefer you did not share. So much of my blog content has been taken by russian bloggers and claimed as their own! :/ So please do not encourage the sharing of my work in that community. Thx for asking. Anita

  3. I finally had time to sit down with your blog tonight and wow! I'm loving all the patternmaking going on here. The way you go about creating a pattern for a sketch is so clever and again shows the importance of a good fitting block.

    1. Hi Julia. Comment received. Thx :) I think the system resists comments with links or url's. Just to keep the spammers away I think.
