Sabrina is a thin long sleeved pullover worked bottom up in 1x1 rib and a simple texture pattern. The body is worked in the round to be split into front and back piece that are worked flat. For a better fit the front armhole is slightly more scooped out. The shoulders are assembled using 3-needle cast off. The sleeves are worked separately and assembled to the body using crochet. Finally stitches for the polo neck are picked up around the neckline and then worked in 1x1 rib. The intended ease for the pullover is approx. 0-5 cm / 0-2” of positive ease around the chest.

The pullover has a straight fit but on in the pattern there are guides on how you can change the width of the body to make it A-line shaped or to narrow it down towards the hips. There is also suggestions on other types of necklines.

Choosing size(see schematics & measurements in the photos)
Choose size mainly based on the chest circumference and cross back measurements. You measure the cross back measurement at the back from the top of one armpit to the other. You can also measure the back of a shirt with a similar construction you like the fit of. Intended ease for the chest circumference is approx. 0-5 cm / 0-2”, the cross back measurement has no ease.
If you have a larger bust use your upper bust measurement instead (measure the circumference of your chest just under your armpits) to compare to the chest circumference and opt for a size with approx. 5 cm / 2” ease. The pullover will be comfortable to wear even with a little negative ease around the bust.
