Alamain - The Chisel Top

A funnel neck jersey top pattern with button detailing

The Chisel Top is a fitted jersey piece featuring a distinctive funnel neck fastened with side buttons. The neckline is highly versatile: it can be worn fully closed for a structured, clean look, or left partially unbuttoned to fall into a relaxed asymmetric collar. The silhouette is designed to follow the body’s natural shape with enough ease to make it a comfortable, modern staple for everyday wear.

This jersey top sewing pattern offers two distinct styles to suit different seasons. You can choose between a long-sleeve version featuring a functional thumbhole cuff or a clean, sleeveless cut-away silhouette. Designed for stretch fabrics, it is a practical project that introduces interesting technical details to a classic wardrobe essential.

Design features:

- Fitted jersey silhouette with comfortable ease.

- High funnel neck with functional button fastening.

- Asymmetric collar option when worn partially open.

- Long-sleeve version with integrated thumbhole cuffs.

- Sleeveless version with an elegant, clean armhole.

- Designed for a variety of knit and stretch fabrics.

V1: Long sleeve top with thumbhole cuff. The long sleeve version features an integrated thumbhole cuff, adding a functional and modern detail to the sleeve.

V2: Sleeveless funnel neck top. The cut-away version offers a sleeveless silhouette with a refined armhole, ideal for layering or warmer weather.

Designed for makers looking for a minimalist jersey top pattern, this piece works well in a variety of materials. Depending on the desired look, it can be made in a lightweight rib knit for a textured finish or a classic cotton jersey for a smooth, everyday feel.
