This cotton jersey is a circular knit: it does not fray at the cut edge and suits beginners as well. 145 cm wide, 220 g/m² — figures that tell you how heavily the fabric falls. Material: 95 % cotton and 5 % Elastan.
The tone Dark Blue sits in the cool range. Beside yellow and orange it builds the strongest contrast there is. With cuffing in a matching tone you finish sleeves, hem and neckline cleanly. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off.

Frequently asked questions
May the fabric go in the dryer?
The care label decides. In principle knits shrink more in a dryer than on a line. If you plan to tumble dry, do it once before cutting.
Which stitch do I set?
A stretch stitch or a narrow zigzag, otherwise the seam bursts when stretched. If you have an overlocker, use it — it sews and finishes in one pass and is built for knits.
Which way does the fabric stretch?
Clearly across the web, barely along it. Align your pieces accordingly: whatever wraps the body runs crosswise. Confuse the two and you get a piece that will not move.
Do I need matching cuffing?
For clean finishes at sleeve, hem and neck, yes. Cuffing is cut shorter than the circumference and sewn on stretched — which makes the finish hug rather than stand away.
