This project started with a perfect teal sweater knit from Stonemountain. I’d already used this fabric in dark and light grey to make two pairs of Hudson pants so I knew it was easy to work with and nice to wear. I noticed that Beth at SunnyGal Studio just posted a sweater she made with this knit too! So if you happen to live the in Bay area you might want to get some of your own.
I used a modified version of Grainline’s free Hemlock tee pattern. I’ve used it before to make a few t-shirts, including one that I “skinnied” by removing 2″ of width from the front and back. I also lengthened the sleeves, and used bands to finish the neck and sleeves. The pattern has been shortened by several inches, too.
The fabric has a bit of drape and makes for a nice, relaxed and casual fit. A confession: I’ve already bought more of this fabric in a dark grey but I haven’t decided what to do with it. Maybe a Linden sweatshirt? Any suggestions?

Great colour! Can’t wait to see what you do with the dark grey. I think I might have to add this pattern to my list.
Thank you! It’s a great pattern – lots of fun possibilities, and it’s free – can’t argue with that!
Uh oh. A trip to Stonemountain might be in order. Before all of your other fans get there and buy this stuff out! This sweatshirt looks wonderfully comfy and relaxed.
Well, my Mom did scoop some up in purple. 😉
Your is great!
Thank you!
