Fabric

Stretch knit fabrics such as sweater, cable, ribbed, waffle or jacquard knits, or French terry. If your main fabric has less than 20% stretch, get 1m (1 1/8yd) ribbing for the neckband, button stands, hem band, and cuffs. For tie-front version, choose a lightweight knit and test sew a pair of ties to check they’re not too bulky.

Notions

4.5m of 10-12mm wide iron-on stay tape

0.7m of iron-on interfacing (similar weight to your fabric)

Button-front version: 17-20mm wide buttons – 6 for hip-length, 5 for cropped length
