Loop drop shoulder knit top (PDF)
I have now made two versions of the Loop Drop Shoulder top-- the short flutter-sleeve top, and the short top with banded sleeves and banded bottom, both with the crew neck. I used the body measurement chart to choose my size and was happy. The instructions were good. The tops turned out nice and I am looking forward to wearing them this summer. In the future I plan to try out the other neckline options and the long split-hem version. I really like how many options are included in this pattern!
This is such a fun top to make. I used lace as the insert instead of loops. I made one for me and another for my adult daughter. We are both super pleased! I did have to take in the sides as it fits generously.
Very nice fit and so many cute variations that I want to try
I made the split hem hip length sweater with regular sleeves out of a french terry and it is so comfortable. I am 5'3" and used the petite file and am very pleased with the fit.
What a great pattern! Very thorough instructions that make it super easy to fulfill those mitered corners. I have made three for myself. One for sis for her birthday and one for Christmas. My godmother's fabric is arriving today so I can get to hers too. Thanks for making this pattern a breeze to sew and give.
This was a very easy, quick sew. I made the wide crewneck using cotton spandex with a knit lace sleeve insert, cuff and bottom band. I used the instructions only for attaching the insert. The rest was consistent with making a basic top. I enjoy making Sinclair patterns because of the petite sizing option. I’m looking forward to making more Loop tops.
I like this top for its loose fit with stylish details. I've made 2 plain tops with no sleeve details and made in brushed knits they are really cozy winter basics. I've also made one top with the set-in stripe on the sleeve and plan more of those. I think for the next one I'll use the 'back' of the fabric for the stripe as I've seen in some other sewist's photos. It's great that this pattern has so many design options. The instructions were clear and easy - as with all Sinclair patterns I've made. This is a pattern I can see using for years to come.
Another fabulous pattern that fits perfectly and is easy to sew. Plenty of options make it a great basic pattern to have in your collection.
I’ve come to rely on Sinclair patterns, being petite. I know they will fit!
I have already made 2 loop tops and will be making many more.
The split hem is so easy to do, it just all comes together with Oxanas instructions and her calculations of the mitre, already worked out for us sewers!
Great pattern. I have made several. I love the comfy fit.
