The Aalto Sweatshirt is the perfect everyday piece, defined by its distinctive details. Its loose, relaxed shape is created by a beautiful wavy front seam, slightly forward-curving side seams, rounded back sleeve seams, and a softly curved hem. You can highlight the shape by topstitching the seams.

MATERIALS & SUPPLIES

• Knit fabric, see the chart

• Ribbing, 55 cm (5/8 yd)

• 5–7 mm (1/4”) stay tape, 55 cm (21 5/8”)

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS

Choose a medium weight knit fabric with 30 - 50% stretch. Sweatshirt jersey, terry or even light neoprene are all good options.

For the neckline, cuffs and hem, pick a rigid knit that has a good recovery and 30 - 50% stretch.
