Sylvie is a versatile work to weekend semi-fitted top with some lovely features. With her unique yoke style lines, Sylvie is a creative playground for combining different colours and textures, as well as a great opportunity for some scrapbusting! The front yoke has a gentle ‘V’ shape, while the back is curved. 

Explore elegant, drapey design features with the cowl neck and flutter sleeve options. Or go for a sportier Sylvie with the sleeveless view and the versatile round neckline. Colourblock the yoke for a look that is completely your own!

Sewing Sylvie

For the Sylvie you'll want to look for light to medium knit fabrics with at least 15% horizontal stretch and good drape. Fabrics like cotton jersey, viscose/rayon jersey, merino jersey, and silk jersey are all great options. 

The Sylvie top is thoroughly designed, with separate armscyes for the sleeved and sleeveless views, for an accurate fit. And to make your sewing life easier, the intstructions also feature separate construction methods for each sleeve view.

Whether you opt for the classic banded round neck or stitch up the satisfying cowl neck, our expert intructions will guide you through. Sylvie is a great pattern to elevate your knit sewing!

Stay tuned for the full Sylvie Sew Along coming this month! Bri will be sewing up both version and including some extra tips and tricks along the way!

Take 20% off with code SYLVIE through midnight August 12 (EST).
