Snuggle-worthy yet effortlessly elegant, the Newport Top is one garment that you won’t regret making. The Newport’s details are understated, but you surely will not go unnoticed.

Of course you can always make two tops and try both styles of sleeves.
Newport Top Features:
- Boxy silhouette with a relaxed fit
- Wide boat neckline
- “Envelope fold” shoulders
- High-low hem
- Two sleeve options: 3/4 flute and regular long
- Layers feature (print only the sizes you need)

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 used a bamboo knit in a warm burgundy & am so pleased with the Newport top. Easy to follow instructions.
Ann –
I really enjoyed making my first Newport and it won’t be my last! The instructions were super easy to follow and the top – which I made in a sweater knit – looks great. I’m very petite and even the size 00 is a little roomy, so I’ll remove a tiny bit of ease next time.

The Newport Top is a stunningly elegant pattern. The lines assure the blouse hangs loosely skimming the body in a lovely drape. I have a 41″ bust and chose a (L) which yielded a perfect fit. The pattern is so well drafted, each join coming together with exact precision. The collar has the look of a boat neckline but the back and front overlap at the shoulder creating a very unique detail. This pattern did not disappoint but rather was a success as per usual for Itch to Stitch patterns.
Thank you Kennis,
Teri Raudebaugh

I made this and the result was great. The neckline was a little tricky using the knit fabric. But the overall result was great. I made minor adjustments to the body width.

Hi Kennis. My Newport top made up very well. Other than the fact I cut out two left sleeves! But I trimmed both the sleeves to be the same and moved the notches on one of them and it didn’t matter at all. It fits well, looks great and the instructions were easy to follow. And I have a brand new computer skill. Thank you for your assistance there as well.
Helena –
lovely twist on a boat neck top.

Went down one size for a more fitted top and really happy with the result.

A loose fitting top
Heidi Garp –
Nice and easy pattern. Great fit
VIRGINIA –
I like the neckline for this T-shirt.
Bernice –
The shoulder overlap on this top is a cute detail!
MELODY –
I see lots of possibilities with this one, both casual and dressy. Just looks comfortable without being dowdy. I love Kennis’ patterns for their style without being too trendy. Many seem just right for my sense of style.

First Itch to Stitch pattern, but I’ll definitely be back for more!

This was my first PDF pattern. The download was straightforward. I printed the pattern on 8×10 and taped. The pattern assembly and sewing instructions were clear and easy to follow. The design was great and has a nice flow. I measured to a size 8, but I found this fit to be bigger than I liked. The neckline is unique on this garment and a great feature. Can’t wait to make another one.
