Fibre Mood - CRUZ Sweater Sewing Pattern

Sporty and elegant? Cruz makes it possible. This sweater features a stand-up collar and a zip fastening for instant cool vibes. Would you rather leave out the welt pockets or side seams? Simply glue the pattern pieces together and treat them as one pattern piece. Finish the hems with ribbing or use your main fabric if it has enough stretch. A versatile winner that fits into any wardrobe.
