The Details

With a classic 50s-inspired slash neckline, a long-line body for extra comfort and three different sleeve options, The Gable Top will become your new favourite go-to knit top pattern.

Gable is perfect for wearing all year round — layered with dresses and cardigans on chilly mornings or worn on its own with 3/4 skinny jeans or a high-waisted skirt à la Audrey in spring. Gable is a stylish weekend basic that can be easily dressed up and added to your office outfit rotation.

 

Fabric Options

Made with comfy stretch knits, Gable is a quick and easy sew that doesn’t use much fabric and turns out perfectly every time. Gable was designed using a 95% cotton/5% spandex knit fabric with a 40% stretch and good recovery.

 

The Gable Dress

Get even more out of your Gable Top pattern with the Gable Dress Expansion Pack! Choose from a gathered or pleated skirt for the comfiest (and most stylish) dress you’ve ever worn. Pockets included – of course!

The Gable Dress is not currently available in the JLH Curve Sizes/Original with cup sizes, but will be updated early 2022.

 

Skill Level

Designed for confident beginners through to advanced seamstresses.

 

Sizing

The Gable Top now comes in both the Original and Curve sizes individually, or in an economical bundle option where you can access both size ranges, from 6 to 34 with cups A to F. You can find the new sizing information here, including how to choose your cup size.

Gable is drafted for an average height of 170cm or 5’7″

 

Multiple Bust Cups – A to F

Due to the nature of knit fabrics, two cup sizes are integrated per front bodice – A+B and C+D Original Pattern, and C+D and E+F Curve Pattern. This gives a total of 4 front pattern pieces to choose from (rather than 8 separated cups).

If you fall into the smaller cup size, you may find there is a touch more fullness at the bust, but this should not effect the overall fit and feel of the top.
