Marine Knit Top & Dress Pattern - PDF DOWNLOAD

Channel your inner “je ne sais quoi" with the Marine Top & Dress, Closet Core's twist on an iconic Breton marinière. With a gently flared sleeve, slouchy fit, dropped shoulder, and classic details like a wide bateau neckline, topstitched facing, and split hem, you’ll feel like you stepped right out of a French New Wave film in this chic knit top or dress.

View A is a top with a wrist-skimming sleeve and a shoulder-wide facing enclosed in the armscye.

View B is a dress with 3/4 length sleeves and a standard neckline facing.

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner

Sizes: 0-32 (0-20 and 14-32 ranges)

Suggested Fabrics:

We suggest stable knits such as mid- to heavyweight cotton jersey and interlock, French terry, sweatshirt fleece, ponte, and double knits. Striped fabrics are ideal for a classic Breton look, but solids work just as well.

Supplies Required:

• Fusible knit interfacing (note you may not be able to interface textured knits like fleece + terry)
• Machine needle for knits
• Thread in a matching color
• Optional: Double needle for topstitching
