Buy the Viola Top sewing pattern from Forget-me-not Patterns. Viola is a top designed for 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 (which is a simpler sew), 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. Viola is perfect for drapey knits. The details look complex, but by using the simple instructions, you will master the folds and will take your knit garments to a new level.
