Using the Turtleneck Dress Pattern Option

Many of our customers are interested in making the turtleneck dress option so we wanted to feature it for a minute. Here are a few pictures along with some customer reviews:

"So many options!! Quite easy to make too! Amy’s instructions are so nice to follow, she explains everything really well. I made a cowl neck dress with bishop sleeves for my daughter, and a cowl neck shirt with bishop sleeves for me! Definitely going to make more!" - Ericka

"This is such a quick sew, whenever I’m in a pinch this is my go-to pattern! The dress length is so flattering and I love the nursing option. The fit was perfect." - Niki

Fabric Choices for a Turtleneck

We recommend using light to medium knits with at least 50% stretch. When selecting materials for turtleneck patterns, it's important to consider a few things:

• Stretch: Opt for a fabric with good 4-way stretch (both horizontally and vertically). Cotton lycra, rib knit, double-brushed poly, waffle, and some sweater knit are often good choices.
• Weight: We recommend medium-weight fabric. Lighter fabrics likely won't provide the warmth you want for winter months and heavy fabrics would be too bulky.
• Comfort: Prioritize comfort by selecting a soft and breathable fabric like the ones listed above. 
• Drape: Look for a fabric with good drape to ensure that the turtleneck collar lays nicely. Avoid stiff or overly structured materials.
• Fabric Care: Consider the fabric's care requirements. Check if it's machine washable, as turtlenecks are meant to be worn frequently.

Of course, make sure to check out our excellent selection of fabrics over at KnitFabric.com.
