Named Clothing - PDF Sewing Pattern - AALTO Sweatshirt

The Aalto Sweatshirt PDF Sewing Pattern by Named Clothing is a relaxed everyday sweatshirt with distinctive curved seam details. Its loose-fitting shape is created by a wavy front seam, slightly forward-curving side seams and rounded seams at the back of the sleeves.

A softly curved hem completes the design, giving the sweatshirt an interesting shape without complicated styling details. For extra definition, you can topstitch the seams to highlight the curved construction and add a neat finish.

Choose a medium-weight knit fabric with 30–50% stretch for the main sweatshirt. Sweatshirt jersey and terry are both suitable options, while lightweight neoprene offers a more structured alternative.

For the neckline, cuffs and hem, use a firmer rib knit with good recovery and 30–50% stretch. These areas need a fabric that will stretch comfortably while returning to shape. The pattern also requires ribbing and stay tape for construction.

Available in sizes EUR 32–56 (UK 4–28), Aalto is a novice-level sewing project for making a comfortable sweatshirt with more interesting construction details than a basic sweatshirt pattern.
