Como Knit Top Tutorial

This sewing tutorial takes you through Style Arc's Como Knit Top, focusing on the construction of the neckline and shoulder seam. Our Como Knit top has a flattering neckline that hugs the back of the neck with the little stand. The pattern was designed to have some shape over the body but not too much and the shoulder line is extended to cover the shoulders. We hope this tutorial will entice others to give it a go! This pattern will be available as a bundle with the Como Knit Cardi and Como Knit Pant!

I have just bought this pattern as well and was not comfortable with the lack of instructions....searched pattern review 51 pages of tops and there is not one of these tops on there. Very grateful for this tutorial. Thanks a million!!

[@wendyteplow6829]

These videos are so helpful...plus it’s fun to watch an expert sew. Thanks!

Hi Wendy, that’s great feedback for us, so thank you!!

[@maidenmakesreviews]

Oh fab, this pattern is on my May bank holiday to do list 😁👍👍👍

[@debbyfloyd3592]

I, too, unhappy with the lack of written instructions. Different construction. Finally found this video which covers the biggest of the issues. Would appreciate a more thorough written or video start to finish.

[@StyleArcSewingPatterns]

Thanks for the feedback. This is an older pattern. We are updating construction notes and working on newer tutorials. All a work in progress.

[@ParsnipsMum1]

Thanks for this tutorial, it made it so easy. Love the construction of this top.

[@sandypetersen6329]

I enjoy watching you sew. I am more motivated now to try this pattern.

[@maryhull531]

I just bought this pattern too . So this was great the reviews led me to this tutorial.

[@julsbendandi9374]

Just bought the pattern! Thank you for explaining this bit!

[@julsbendandi9374]

I love this pattern and have sewn it up quite a few times now. It‘s really fun trying it out with different fabrics. It worked very well on wovens cut on the bias too! (And I‘m a plus size so this was really great!)

[@juliesew_me_something699]

Thankyou so much ✂️ very helpful

[@Allycat3270]

I, too love watching your videos, I simply love how all the garments are sewn together (it reminds me of the Islander Sewing System). I will be putting this pattern on my 'wishlist'. Is there any chance that you can do a tutorial of the Corina knit dress please?

[@eliseharrison7850]

This tutorial was great! I’m all done but the hem…..But, please help me figure out what to do with those tails at the sleeve, and where the instruction sat to “bar tack” the sleeves! I love the shirt but the bottom of the sleeves look weird, and I’m pretty dang sure it has everything to do with those tiny v-shaped strips, me not knowing what to do with them, and where to bar tack I wanted to wear it to lunch today so I could grant a little..ha..but I need some help. Thanks to anyone for some advice/instruction!

[@stitchinginthesun]

Love watching these tutorials. I was quite curious that you did not iron the seam each time after sewing?

[@karenr3708]

Great , these tutorials are very helpful ! Can you please do one for the Martha shirt, it’s lovely but I have been put off buying due to the challenging rating, thanks !

[@liliasch8132]

I would have liked to see the inside of the garment, the collar. Helpfull but not enough explanations

[@kerriewilliams8321]

Great work, thanks Cheryl - keep them coming. One question I have tho, have you sewed that up with a regular stitch? Won’t the stitches pop when stretched - I always thought you had to sew a knit with a zig zag or overlocker?

[@ruthe8095]

This style is a little looser so I think straight stitch is fine in this instance.

[@StyleArcSewingPatterns]

Hi Kerrie, sorry for the late reply! We have used a poly thread and slightly stretched the knit as we sewed to avoid cracked stitches... we then overlock the seams :)

[@sarahrudd4995]

Would it be possible to make it without the double front?

[@kjlouisi4630]

Beautiful, sadly too low neck for my busty cleavage. Keep these toots coming!

[@katiegreen7082]

Can we see how this can be made without the double front?

[@teslaandhumanity7383]

Did you use a straight stitch ?
Was it iron on stabiliser tape ?
Thanks , about to make a knit top.
Your machine is so smooth and quiet 🤫

[@amanda72558]

When will the pattern be available please?

[@StyleArcSewingPatterns]

its available now :)

[@tlt43]

I thought one had to use a zig zag stitch for knits. No?

[@johannawardbrennan5835]

The background noise drowns out the instructions

[@StyleArcSewingPatterns]

sorry it's our noisy machine :)

[@julieoleary9328]

@@StyleArcSewingPatterns I don't hear it as the machines. It sounds like a fan or furnace or something like that.

[@kathsteele4194]

Not that clear for a beginner
