Toaster Sweater-Fall Must Have
The Toaster Sweater Pattern by Sew House Seven is a versatile wardrobe staple that sews up quickly and easily and the variations are endless.
Version #1 has a high mock turtleneck, raglan sleeves, cuffs and hem band. Stable knits such as ponte, scuba, medium weight sweatshirt and sweater knits are recommended.
Version #2 has a funnel neck, set in sleeves and a hi-low split hem. Medium weight interlock, and jersey knits work well as well as wovens with at least 20% stretch are go-to’s for this pattern but other knits will work as well.
