What you’ll make
The Santiago is a unisex fleece pullover with a high collar and a front zipper that extends to the chest seam. Adjust the opening for more or less coverage.
The pattern offers a shorter version that falls below the waist and a longer version that reaches below the seat. Add a straight hand-warmer pocket, a kangaroo pocket, or leave the front plain.
What you’ll learn in this class
- Prepare and position either pocket style.
- Join the upper front and back.
- Attach the high collar using the notches.
- Align and insert the front zipper.
- Join the lower front without stretching the knit.
- Set the sleeves and close the side seams.
- Hem the cuffs and lower edge.
Fabric and sewing choices
Use a warm knit such as fleece or plush-backed fleece. If the fabric sheds heavily, finish its raw edges before assembly.
A jersey or stretch needle suits fabric with some give. A walking foot can feed thick or springy layers evenly, while straight stitch, zigzag, and serger-style finishes suit different machines.
Make it your own
Select the shorter or longer version, then add either pocket or leave the front plain. The chest seam also provides a natural place to combine fabrics or colors.
The unisex sleeves run long, so check their length before hemming. Gather the cuffs or lower edge with elastic, or add eyelets and a tie at the lower edge.
For another everyday layer, try the Unisex Sweatshirt.
Compare the Austin Sweatshirt and Wilson Jacket for more warm-knit ideas.
