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 have only recently discovered Itch to Stitch and I love these patterns. Started with Lamma and just made this one. Did both in sweatshirt fabric for winter but they would work equally well in a lighter fabric. Only bugbear is having to print and stick the patterns – nowhere local to get them printed. Also impressed by the reasonable pricing.
Dawn (verified owner) –
The sizing square was way off; too large by about 3/8″ I am not sure how to adjust – make a smaller size or make the size I wanted and hope it fits? Haven’t started this process because of the glitch.
Kennis Wong (store manager) –
Usually, this is a printer issue. HP is notorious for the problem. I suggest you update your printer software and re-install the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. If all else fails, I suggest you try using another printer.

What drew me to this pattern was the simple but beautiful design with its cross over front detail, great to sew as are all the patterns I have currently purchased.
Virginia (verified owner) –
This was FUN to make! It’s also the only pattern that I have ever made that did not require any alterations to the paper. The fit was perfect! Directions are excellent. Already thinking about making it again.
Angela (verified owner) –
Love all my Itch to Stitch patterns and the Orono top was no exception. I love the design with the petal front which makes it a bit different from a regular sweatshirt. The instructions were really clear with illustrations which I find very helpful and the fit is excellent. It feels very comfortable to wear

I made it without the collar and just love it. Showed it off at a quilt meeting and several took the time to find it right away. Went together beautifully and fast. Will make again.

Perfect !!!!!

Loved this pattern as soon as I saw it, made it almost immediately and I am really happy with the outcome. Good instructions and easy to put together even though I am fairly inexperienced with knits. Will definitely make another.
Sharon (verified owner) –
Great pattern. I am so happy with how mine turned out. I have been wearing it a lot since I have made it. Everything on the pattern matched up perfectly. I blogged about my top here: http://www.sweetmamalife.com/2019/02/itch-to-stitch-orono-sewing-winter.html

The Orono is a great pattern addition for my spring wardrobe because sometimes it can really be cold. The inseam pockets are genius! Thank you!
Joan (verified owner) –
Love how this pattern went together. The unusual design inspired me enough to purchase and grade up a size. I have more planned as it is lovely as a light warmer layer. Pockets are perfect! More inclusive sizing would get 5 stars from me! And likely more sales.

I like the design of the Orono Sweater it is attractive as well as being very practical. Your pdf’s are easy to use and the instructions are very comprehensive.
Diane (verified owner) –
My Oronos are warm and comfortable. I love the dart on the raglan sleeves and the petal front. Easy to sew and I can always depend on the size chart. It’s a winner!
Aimee (verified owner) –
I love the Orono Top! It’s great for knits with just a little stretch. See photos of the ones I made on my blog at https://thesewingscientist.blogspot.com/2019/02/itch-to-stitch-orono-top.html

This is a beautiful and unique pattern. It’s a bit complicated but once I read through the directions and carefully thought about the pattern, it made perfect sense. It is a challenge to find the correct fabric for this pattern, but when you do the results are beautiful!

I love how current & timeless are your patterns; love the ease to grade sizes; especially love readily available help via a message or post.
Christine (verified owner) –
Another fabulous, comfortable ITS pattern. Casual yet feminine styling. I’ve already made one, and have another one planned in a lighter knit for spring. Love this!
Audrey (verified owner) –
Your patterns pages paste together so easily that I know when they arrive that it’s going to be fun projects to do! In my case very little alterations to do which is unusual for someone so short as I. My fav company???

I loved the ease with which one can construct this sweater and am very happy with how it turned out. Kennis’s designs are so clever, and I learn something new about sewing when I do each pattern for the first time. The only thing that I would add to make it easier for a beginning sewer is a little more detail in the explanation on constructing the pockets. I think that I am pocket-challenged, as this is something that I have to think about carefully when reading a pattern from all companies. I enjoyed sewing this top, and plan to make additional Orono tops in other colors! It’s a great addition to my winter wardrobe!
Ilyn (verified owner) –
This pattern is easy to put together, I love the pockets. The instruction is easy to follow and has clear illustrations. Great pattern indeed!
Marybeth (verified owner) –
A stylish and comfy addition to my wardrobe. Super easy to make because of the thorough instructions. I made two!!
Carol (verified owner) –
I just have to say, not only do I love your patterns, but the written directions are the best in the industry. I love the finished garment measurements and the sizing, which always result in choosing the best size. The illustrations are perfect and accurate. I plan to be a long-time customer!
