Description
Description
Rainbow is the ultimate customisable sweatshirt – a playful and versatile pattern with 96 possible versions to suit your style. Choose from four lengths (classic, above the knee, below the knee, or mid-calf) and three pocket styles: kangaroo, welt, or in-seam.
Make it with or without a zip, and pick your preferred neckline: a classic hood, overlapping hood, or simple neckband. Finish with ribbing for a sporty edge, or leave it off for a more relaxed look. With so many possibilities, Rainbow is the perfect canvas for your creativity.
Important to Know: I AM Patterns are designed to be traced off. The different pieces overlap with each other so you will need to trace the pattern on paper. This means that you will be able to make multiple sizes of the garment and adjust the pattern as you trace it if necessary. For this you could use tracing paper, baking parchment, thin wrapping paper; or we can supply you with some spot and cross pattern paper.
Suggested Fabrics:
Garment: jersey for sweatshirt, interlock knit, neoprene, French Terry . . .
Ribbing: ribbing by the meter or the same fabric used for the garment (this pattern is not designed for using pre-cut ribbing bands).

- 4 lengths: classic, above-knee, below-knee and midi
