RECOMMENDATIONS
The Pocket Henley Pattern
was designed for all the boys
in your life! This henley is
comfortable and stylish at the
same time! Your little boy will
be requesting these over and
over!
This pattern is most successful

when 50%, four way stretch
knit fabric with good recovery
is used. If the fabric has more
than 50% stretch, the garment WHAT IS THE
may fit looser and appear less
structured. If less stretch, then DIFFERENCE
the garment will fit tighter and BETWEEN 2-WAY
will not drape as well.
AND 4-WAY
STRETCH KNIT?
Most knit fabrics have stretch. Some knits
have four-way stretch (both horizontal
and vertical), and others have two-way
stretch (horizontal only). Two-way stretch
fabrics are said to be more “stable” than
four-way stretch fabrics.
Check for fabric recovery after stretching.

When the fabric is released, it should
spring back to its original size. If the fabric
remains distorted, it will likely stretch
out of shape with handling and wear and
should be avoided.

HOW TO MEASURE
Chest: Measure the horizontal circumference, around the body
taken under the arms and across the fullest part of the chest/bust
apex.
Waist: Measure the minimum horizontal circumference around

the body at waist level.

to the floor taken with the subject standing and without shoes.
