I could go on and on about how much I love the Whistler! When I first saw it I wasn’t sure I would like it, or even wear it, and now I have plans to make so many more for myself and as Christmas presents! It is the perfect mix of casual and cute. The instructions are clear (there is even a video!) and you can just sew on the buttons if button holes scare you 😉

This is the coziest sweater ever! I love the optional facing to finish the bottom, or you can hem it or band it! With the hood or Shawl color, different length options, and the absolutely huge bit not bulky at pockets-it’s my favorite. Plus – I can nurse in it!! The construction of this pattern is top notch and even though pieces look all crazy when cutting it out the instructions are incredibly clear. Love it!

As we have come to expect from Love Notions patterns, the Whistler has clear concise directions which will lead you to a distinctive garment that collects compliments. And also as we’ve come to expect, there are many options so you can keep making the Whistler and have it look like a different pattern each time. I was concerned that this might be a tricky sew, but quickly learned that it’s not at all difficult. Very happy indeed with my new Whistler!

This is such a comfortable pullover! I love that when you make the hoodie it doesn’t have a big kangaroo pocket in the front–it’s different. As always, instructions are very clear and construction was easy. You can dress it up for work or casual for the weekend. A new staple in my closet!

love how easy this is to put together. the pockets are a great place to hold the phone and wallet so I do not need to bring a purse. I like that the pattern comes in bigger sizes

This pattern is perfect for making a warm and snugly top! Very clear instructions.

I made this for my daughter who is now 6 months pregnant. She loves it!!! She likes to wear hoodies, so this is the dressy version. I can see it will get a lot of use 🙂

I cut it out one night and sewed it up the next day, it looked complicated but went together very easily. I love how cozy it is and will make a few more, and I think it`ll make great gifts. I will be making one for my daughter as she is tall, the tunic length with a hood and thumb holes will be perfect for her!!!!

Love this top! Clever construction and so very well drafted that I didn’t even need to use the notches. I have made both the shawl and hoodie and am very happy with both versions.

This top looks difficult, but it is really simple to sew! Took me 2 hours (already had it cut out). I wear mine very often. Great for layering in the winter, cool summer nights, or warmish fall nights at football games! I need to make more!

A great looking casual top, excellent fit. Looks like a complicated sew but was surprised how quickly it came together, the video explaining the construction of the front pocket was a godsend as the written instruction did have me scratching my head a bit! Have made this in French terry block colours of lime green and black. Am going to make a second in a cosy knitted jersey fabric for the approaching winter days

Hi Paula! So happy to hear the video was helpful to you. That colorblocked version sounds amazing! Lime green is one of my favorite colours! ~K

At first I was unsure I’d be able to figure this one out – the pattern pieces had me worried. But I should have known – clear instructions and even a video made this awesome top a breeze to make. Such fun!
Debi Mager (verified owner) –
Oh my goodness this is the most comfortable top ever. I watched the video to help me with the top and it was easy! The fit is great. I love the pockets. I love the collar. I’ll be making lots more of these!!!

I found this pattern a bit of a challenge mainly because I had never made anything in this style hiwever, the top came together so well and in Ponte Roma its turned out to be a lovely warm addition to my wardrobe. I think the bext one will be slightly smaller but will be making again. Love it

I bought this instantly when it came up on $5 Friday, even though I was supposed to be on a pattern buying break. I just love the unique details and all the different options in one pattern, and yay for video help with the tricky bits!

I made this for myself out of a sweater knit. It went together beautifully and is so snuggly.

This top is so cute and comfy! It’s great for winter/fall The directions are so easy to follow! I love that Love Notions has projector files too now! And so many of their tops have FBAs built in! It makes sewing tops so much easier!

This is my favorite sweater!!! Why?? It’s a sweater but it’s still feminine. I love that it looks super complex but it is so easy to make!! I have 4 of them and I love them!!!

I learned so many new skills while sewing the Whistler! I love how pulled together it looks, while it feels like leisurewear. 2020 had me doing lots of remote and virtual meetings. I loved having a few whistlers in different fabrics to throw on and look like I was office-ready. As always, the videos and links in the instructions were helpful for the steps that I couldn’t get from the 2D instructions.
