River is a great pattern for a sweater, a (training) jacket or a body warmer. This pack of pattern parts allows you to make no less than 28 different garments!
These are the possible variations in a nutshell:
- A sweater, with or without sleeves.
- Add a zipper in front and you have a training vest, or a jacket depending on the fabric you choose.
- Pattern and instructions to make a lined version are included!
- Without the sleeves, the jacket turns into a boxy body warmer.
- Choose your neckline finish: facing, standing collar, bomber collar, jersey neck trim or turtle neck.
-
All variations can be made with or without the diagonal front pockets.
River has a loose, oversized fit. The sleeves narrow toward the wrists and are finished with an elastic tunnel. It also sits a bit narrower at the hem due to the elastic tunnel. The sleeveless version has a boxy cut with oversized armholes. The collars are not too tight around the neck. In fact, when finished with facing, the neckline is fairly roomy. The high collar is finished with an overlapped zipper splash so that the top of the zipper cannot irritate the chin.
Psst ... Did you know River has a big sister called, Rava? Sew a kids version and an adult version and you can go twinning!!

RECOMMENDED FABRICS:
Many fabrics are possible. For the jackets, we can't think of any fabric that wouldn't be suitable. If you use a thick fabric, we recommend making the zipper placket and facing parts in a thinner fabric. For the zipperless sweaters, you just have to keep in mind that your head should be able to pass through the neck opening. So the collar should definitely be made of sufficiently stretchy fabric. However you can also make the rest of the sweater in a non-stretch woven fabric. Nice results are guaranteed with anything from the jersey category: jogging, french terry, punta... and thin nylon fabrics will also emphasize that cool eighties vibe. Or why not go for a wool collarless jacket? Sporty chic.
