Introducing the 'Go Two Piece' PDF pattern
Go Two Piece PDF Pattern
The Go Two Piece PDF pattern is a stylish and simple 2-piece jersey separates set with a complementary loop scarf. The simple design combines refined style and comfort. The top has a gentle batwing sleeve and a band that sits comfortably on your lower waist. The skirt band is designed so it doesn’t need elastic- all you need is the fabric, thread and you're good to go!
