THE ASSEMBLY LINE • Elastic Tie Sweater Sewing Pattern (XS - 3XL)
Printed sewing pattern • Sizes XS–L / XL–3XL • Skill level: Beginner
The Elastic Tie Sweater Sewing Pattern by The Assembly Line is a contemporary top with an architectural silhouette and distinctive neckline detail. Designed in Sweden, this modern pattern transforms a simple sweater into a striking wardrobe piece through clever construction and understated Scandinavian styling.
The standout feature is the high neckline, gathered with a decorative elastic tie that creates soft pleats across the front. These pleats act as subtle bust darts, providing both shaping and visual interest while maintaining the clean lines of the design. The relaxed silhouette makes it an effortlessly wearable piece that pairs beautifully with both trousers and skirts.
