Meet your go-to knit sewing pattern: the Ultimate T-Shirt is great for jersey beginners, and an absolute breeze for more experienced sewers. This pattern comes together incredibly quickly, and we’ve given you lots of variations so you can get the most out of it.

With three different necklines and sleeve lengths to choose from, you can make up to 9 different versions of this pattern! We think it will be a great one to hack and combine with other patterns too. Choose between a crew, scoop or V neck and make the sleeves short, 3/4, or full length.

The bodice is nice and long so it won’t ride up when you wear it over jeans, but the Ultimate T-shirt also looks great tucked into smarter trousers and skirts, perfect for the office.

What is a PDF pattern?

A PDF pattern is a downloadable pattern that you print yourself at home on A4 or US letter paper.

Choose to add on A0 printing and we will print the pattern on our A0 printers and post it to you so all you need to access digitally is the instruction booklet.

If you're using the A4 or US letter options, simply download, print at home, tape together and let the sewing begin! When you print the pattern, print at 100% (you might have to uncheck the scale box). Print page 1 first, the square should measure 10cm x 10cm.

Is this sewing pattern layered?

Yes! This pattern is layered so you can print off just the size(s) that you need. Find out more about layering here.

Like all our patterns, the sizes are nested to make it easier to grade between the sizes, depending on your measurements.
