Forget-me-not Patterns - Viola Knit Top
The Viola Knit Top has 5 reviews, to date from our members. Viola is the perfect top designed for drapey knits. The front features an asymmetric neckline, with draped folds that radiate from the shoulder and flow around the body. Choose from two neckline options: collarless or an asymmetric collar that complements the diagonal style lines. The back has a shaped centre back seam and a gentle V-shaped neckline. The sleeves come in three length options: three-quarter length, full length, and past the wrist. While fitted at the shoulders and hem, the bust and waist are less fitted.
The details look complex, but by using the simple instructions, you will master the folds and take your knit garments to a new level.
Skill level: Intermediate
Size: 28 - 52
Suggested Fabrics: Light to medium-weight knit fabrics with at least 15% horizontal stretch and good drape. Both two-way stretch and four-way stretch fabrics are suitable.

Forget-me-not Patterns - Adeline Dress & Top
The Adeline Dress and Top is the ultimate dress up or casual pattern that you have been waiting for. Featuring dramatic diagonal pleats in the front and back, this is a wrap dress with a twist. Choose your level of detail, with either a shawl collar or a plain neckline. The sleeves come in short and 3/4 length, and can be plain, or pleated. Make the knee-length dress (which includes the option of in-seam pockets), or go for the top view with a peplum. The tie closure makes it easy to wear and easy to sew - no buttons or zips. The detailed instructions will walk you through every step to a beautiful finish.
Skill level: Intermediate
Size: 28 - 48
Suggested Fabrics: Adeline is designed for light to medium weight non-stretch wovens with good drape. Cotton, viscose/rayon, silk, wool, and linen are all ideal. Try a chambray or linen for a casual feel, or go more dressy with a silk crepe de chine or swishy rayon.
