    Our patterns are for personal use only. Using Tessuti patterns to produce garments for commercial

    NOTE: If making the Monroe Turtleneck with a firmer knit, please read
    this page before cutting your fabric.

    We recommend you test out the stretch in your chosen knit by quickly
    cutting out the turtleneck collar and sewing it up to try on over your
    head. It’s also a good idea to keep some extra fabric, just in case you
    need to recut the turtleneck collar if needing more width.

    If your turtleneck is too small or too tight to fit over your head,
    widen the circumference of the neckline so that you can easily pull the
    turtleneck collar over the head. To do this, trim back neckline edge on
    front and back by ¼" all around and add 1" on the fold (in total 2"
    added) to turtleneck collar.

    Move shoulder notch by ½".

    Monroe Turtleneck Sewing Instructions
    Please read instructions thoroughly before cutting and sewing.

    Step 1 - Join shoulders: Pin front and back shoulders with right sides
    together. Overlock seams together taking 3/8" seam.

    Press seam towards back.

    Step 2 - Attach sleeves: With right sides together, pin sleeve head
    around armhole edge. Overlock seams together taking 3/8" seam.

    Press seam towards sleeve.

    Step 3 - Join side seam of top and sleeve together: With right sides
    facing and matching up the underam seams, pin front and back together
    at the side seams and sleeve seams.

    Overlock seams together taking 3/8" seam. Press seam towards back.

    Step 4 - Prepare turtleneck collar: With right sides facing, pin
    together ends of turtleneck collar. Sew ½" seam allowance and press
    seam open.

    With wrong side and neckline edges together, fold the turtleneck collar
    in half lengthways. Make sure to line up the centre front and shoulder
    notches together as well as matching up the centre back seam together.
    Pin together at these points.

    Step 5 - Attach turtleneck collar to neckline: Turn top inside out and
    pin neckline edge of turtleneck collar inside the neckline of top,
    matching up centre front/back and shoulder notches to corresponding
    points on neckline of top. The centre back seam of the collar lines up
    with the centre back notch. Ease turtleneck collar in between these
    points and overlock together taking 3/8" seam. Tip: Overlock around
    neckline with turtleneck collar facing you and note that you will have
    three layers (two from the turtleneck collar edge and one from the
    neckline edge).

    3
    Step 6 - Hem top and sleeve: Overlock raw edge of top and sleeve hem.
    Turn back sleeve and top hem 1" towards wrong side and pin in place on
    right side.

    Using a 2.75mm stretch twin-needle, sew around hem of top and sleeves.
    Make sure to sew with right side of garment facing up and sewing 1" in
    from edge to ensure that you are catching top of overlocked hem edge.

    You're done! Enjoy wearing your Monroe Turtleneck.
