The Zip-Up Sweater sewing pattern is the perfect everyday sweater that is comfortable and casual yet still looks put together.
 
Pair it with a thick, cozy fleece for a laid-back fall or winter look, or sew it in a sleek, athletic knit for a sporty feel. This sweater can be made all in one fabric or mix and match fabrics to make a cool color-blocked sweater. The Zip-Up sweater features a sporty quarter-zip in the front, side pockets, and ribbed cuffs at the wrists and waistband. Choose the standup collar or the contoured hood with drawstrings to make it your own.
 
Skill level: 2/4 - this pattern has a front zipper which beginners may struggle with but there are step by step instructions and a sew-along
 
This pattern comes in sizes 2XS to 4XL which covers chest measurements of 72cm - 120cm.
 
You will need matching thread, ribbing, and a zipper. With stretch fabrics we reccomend using maraflex thread as this enables you to sew straight stitches on stretch fabric with a normal sewing machine.
 
Wardrobe by Me suggest french terry, fleece, or teddy fleece. If using a particularly stretchy fabric subsitute the rib for fabric.
 
Wardrobe by Me have made a video tutorial for this pattern which can be found here.
