The Sabrina top is worked seamlessly from top down in two parts: first, the bust is worked as a flat strip sideways and sewn together. The seam is placed at the front, creating a knot-like design element. The bust is intentionally firm to prevent ribbing from stretching out, and to ensure that strapless bras won’t show underneath. First, knit the bust section flat sideways and sew the seam. Then, pick up the stitches from the bust section for the body and work it to hem. Finally, work the hem in stockinette stitch with one strand only, fold it twice with the wrong sides facing, and sew it in place. * FINISHED MEASUREMENTS Body circumference: 65 (70) 75 (80) 85 (90) 95 (100) 105 (110) 115 (120) 125 (130) 135 (140) 145 (150) cm / 26 (28) 30 (32) 34 (36) 38 (40) 42 (44) 46 (48) 50 (52) 54 (56) 58 (60)” Bralette height: 10.5 (13) 15 (17) 20 cm / 4.5 (5.25) 6 (7) 8” – choose the best one for you Length measured from neckline to hem: 35 cm / 14” in all sizes or preferred length SIZE GUIDE Measure your body circumference just below the bust — not over the bust as you would typically do when knitting a sweater. Choose a size that has no positive ease — instead, aim for a fit that’s a couple of centimetres / an inch tighter than your body circumference to ensure the top fits snugly and stays up without straps. Then, choose a suitable bust section height for yourself. You can measure over a strapless bra to see how high the strip should be to cover the bra.
