What we think: We love this classic shape, and it's perfect for a bit of scrap busting - use up your leftovers for the elbow patches, or even add contrasting cuffs.

Suggested fabrics: Look for medium weight, low-stretch sweatshirt knit fabrics. View 1 contrast neckband and elbow patches can be made with medium weight, loosely woven fabrics such as wool. Elbow patches can also be made from leather, denim and other stiffer woven fabrics.

Fabric requirements: Extra fabric may be required for pattern matching and directional prints.
