    Description

    The Cuff Top is a straight-fitting design with a relaxed silhouette and cap sleeves finished with wide elastic cuffs. It’s a joy to sew, simple, stylish and endlessly wearable, which is why it’s become one of our most popular patterns.

    Shown here in a soft, chambray-style blue, it pairs beautifully with The Assembly Line Almost Long Trousers or the Three Pleat Skirt for a polished, everyday look.

    Sizing: The pattern is cleverly tailored across two adult size ranges and a child, all of which are included in the pattern:

    The XS-L size range has a straight fit with a boat neckline. The XL–3XL size range is more shaped under the arm and features a bust dart and a keyhole opening with a button at the back. 

    The Cuff top MINI is the children’s version of the same design. It has a straight fit, keyhole opening with snap fastener at back and cap sleeves with wide elastic cuffs. The pattern includes size 3–4, 5–6, 7–8 and 9–10 years.

    Please see the FIND YOUR SIZE tab for more detailed information.

    The Cuff top is a boxy, wide model which makes it an easy fit. Even though there are differences between the size ranges, XS-L has a straight shape and XL-4XL are more curved under arm and has a bust dart, your chest measurement is sufficient for sizing.
