PATTERN
BACK SECTION
Square 2 lines from A at 90°.
A-B = 1” [25mm]
B-C = finished length + 1” [25mm]
B-D = ½ back waist length
Square across all points.
D-E = ½ bust or hip (whichever is greater) + 1” [25mm]
Square up and down from E to locate F and G.
D-H = 1/4 bust or hip (whichever is greater)
Square down from H to locate I.
B-J = 3 ⅜” [85 mm]
J-K = 1” [25mm]
Connect B to K with a shallow curve as shown.
K-L = shoulder length
L-M = 1 ⅜” [35mm]
Draw a construction line from M to H and divide it into 3 equal parts. Label points Nand O.
Draw the back armhole with a smooth curve from M to H, passing through points 1 ⅜” [35mm] from N and 1 ½” [37mm] from O.
FRONT SECTION
F-P = 3 ½” [90mm]
F-Q = 3 ¼” [82mm]
Draw a construction line from P to Q and divide it into 2 equal parts. Label point R.
Draw the front neckline from P to Q passing through a point ¾” [20mm] from R.
Q-S = shoulder length
S-T = 1 ⅜” [35mm]
Draw a construction line from H to T and divide it into 3 equal parts. Label points U andV.
Draw the front armhole with a smooth curve from H to T, passing through points 2” [50mm] from U and 2 ¼” [57mm] from V.
G-W = ¾” [20mm]
Join I to W with a smooth curve. The corner at W is a 90°angle.
For the front facing, draw a line 3” [75mm] parallel to centerfront tapering to 1 ½”
