How to choose your size
- Compare your bust circumference (fullest part) to the “Body Measurements” table, choose the size that best fits your bust. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
- Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
- Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that fits your hip best. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
- It’s OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip. The instructions for blending sizes are included in the pattern.
- If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the garment. The instructions for lengthening or shortening are included in the pattern.

I sewed up my Hepburn top last week and like it very much!

Such a quick sew and cosy
Dorota R. (verified owner) –
I found this pattern easy to sew and like it a lot. I have batch sewn several Hepburnturtlenecks over the last few days.

I love your patterns, always precise notches etc, and the cup sizing is great. I hope for projector files in the future, until then the layered A0 works. To me, the perfekt projector file is an A0 where all pieces are aligned same way, and pieces are both on fold and not on fold. To make it easier to cut precisely.

This is a quick and easy pattern- so much fun to make! And it looks so sophisticated when you’re done- I made the first one out of a lighter weight ponte, and the second one out of a fabric with more drape- I believe it is cotton and spandex; I love them both, the first one the collar stands right up, and the second one, the collar drapes. Both are nice looks!
Can’t wait to make more!!

A turtleneck pattern I can sew in my choice of color and fabric. I love the outcome of this top in a cotton/spandex blend. Easy to sew, yet very professional outcome!
Nancy Comin (verified owner) –
Mixed 2 sizes came out perfect. Made 3 times.

Hi I first sore your pattern on a liz sews blog and she raved about the pattern. So I thought I would give it a go. I’ve so far cut out the pattern and can’t wait to get stuck in sewing it. I am sure the turtle neck jumper is going to be a main staple in my wardrobe for winter times.
The patterns are so easy to put together, I’ve read the instructions and they look really straightforward to follow.
Your site is easy to maneuver through, considering I’m in the UK. I haven’t found that many nice patterns on my high street, I’m mainly finding them on line. The ones I do find here in the UK, are really expensive. How come patterns and fabrics are so reasonably priced in america. When I have made up the top I send you a picture.

Loved the turtleneck! I am full busted so I wasn’t sure about the having to make my own adjustments but it worked very well! I love the ready to wear vibe!
Lynn L. (verified owner) –
I do wish it could have cup sizes as it fits in shoulders but pulls up over busy when I move. But I have made two already and just love the pattern!

I loved this pattern. It came together pretty quick. The instructions are great. It’s an easy sew. Will definitely be making more of this.

I just needed one of this in my wardrobe! So many beautiful fabrics to make one of this!
Joelle (verified owner) –
Very pleased with this pattern. Easy to follow, clear instructions and my favorite part is the provided size it will be after it’s done so it gives you a better idea of what size you really should make after taking your measurements. Thank you

Loved the fit of this so much! Nicely drafted pattern.

love this pattern
Susan (verified owner) –
My first pattern with this company. Turned out very well. Drafting good and pieces matched up well. Directions clear. Will consider more of their patterns.
Mary Hearn (verified owner) –
I’ve been a great fan of the TATB Freya too but it is very close fitting. This one is longer and slightly less fitted in the body. The turtleneck is also better as not quite so tight. It’s a definite thumbs up from me and I have five more planned. IMHO just better all round.
Peg (verified owner) –
Love a good turtle neck.
Anne (verified owner) –
Everything about this pattern was perfect. I made the first Hepburn Turtleneck with a thrifted rayon lycra and it was spot-on! I made the second one with thrifted cotton rib knit and I made it one size larger because it was not as stretchy and had less recovery. It, too was perfect! Next, I will be cutting my “good fabric” which is a cotton rib. I love this pattern.
Faith (verified owner) –
A very simple and clear pattern. Easy to follow and the sizing was perfect. I used a rayon spandex knit and it’s so soft and lovely. I will make again in a heavier material as I prefer the collars of Turtlenecks to stand up but the rayon spandex was too drapey. Still, very happy with this pattern and my shirt and look forward to making others!

Great to wear

A classic. Kennis drafts her patterns to result in a flattering finished garment. Make this as dressy or casual as you want with the choice of fabric. Make sure you have the right amount of stretch as it is fitted. This does not sew up into your cheap discount store boxy turtle neck. It has all the style of a feminine cut well fitted turtleneck.

Love this pattern! Made two and another is on the list. The fit is perfect and the pattern sews together so well. Excellent pattern drafting. Had some compliments!

I have always loved the look of a turtleneck, and the fit on this one is perfect!
