You must use a stable knit or bottom of placket is a disaster. Unless you stabilize it with interfacing. I stay stitched around where you clip corners.

Really good basic pattern. Problem with doing the placket the way the pattern said but took instructions from another StyleArc pattern and found that to be better. Size 16 perfect for me with no alteration (RTW size 16) Only problem was that the neckline opening seemed a little large and the collar stood away slightly more than I would have liked when buttoned up but fine when open. Might have a look at that next time making and there WILL be several next times with this pattern.

Lovely pattern. Only tricky bit is the placket which is sewn right sides together, turned out and sewn on top of the shirt. AsI found this a bit difficult I sewed my placket behind the shirt. Having made this top three times now though, the next time I will attempt the placket as per the instructions. Fit is great and perfect for playing golf.

This polo is beautiful when sewn up. Beautiful style and fit. My only complaint is the lack of instructions with the pattern. I’ve never done a placket before and found there wasn’t enough detail. I still don’t know if I did it correctly!
