New Pattern: Carmo Top
Do you want a garment that is unique and can be dressed up or down? Look no further than Itch to Stitch’s latest release, the Carmo Top! The Carmo has a graceful wide V-neckline that acts as a perfect frame to portray your face.
For one week (through February 28, 2022), the Carmo Top pattern is 20% off. The volume discount still applies—get 15% off your entire cart if your purchase is $20 or more, or 20% off your entire cart if your purchase is $30 or more!
Carmo Top Features:
- Diagonal scarf that wraps over one shoulder and the opposite side
- Wide front and back V-necklines
- Long sleeves finished with long cuffs
- High-hip length bodice finished with a bottom band
- Designed for knit fabric
I think the Carmo is a great canvas to showcase your beautiful print fabric. You can also use a different fabric for the scarf. I use a soft cotton Lycra jersey, and I also like it in double-brushed poly because it has a lovely balance of drape and structure.
Let’s take a look at the beautiful Carmo Tops that my wonderful testers made!

Does the pattern come with the usual bust size variations?
Hi Ruth, this pattern just comes in regular bust.
I always like your new pattern release posts. The samples show so many possibilities! What I would love to see added is the type of fabric each one used. It would be very helpful in choosing my own fabrics.
This is beautiful. I love its unique look, that it can dress up or down yet is a comfort wearing knit.
Construction questions:
Is the left front and back shoulder separate pieces sewn to the lower and scarf overlay?
What stabilizes the beautiful V neckline?
Hi Kay, I hope I am understanding your question. Yes, the left front and back are sewn to the scarf. The neckline is stabilized using stay tape. The side without the scarf also has a neckline to finish the edges.
Great! Thank you for the reply. It all makes sense. I am excited to get this and make up a Carmo top.
