I LOVE the 3 neckline options of the new Como knit shawl collar sweater from Sinclair patterns. I especially enjoyed the version with a little zipper in the neckline. Such a comfy style and the neckline elevates it a lot! I made 2 versions and share the sewing of the split shawl collar with a zipper. Come see!

They’re both gorgeous! I love the long sleeves a bit more. The color and fabric pattern is ❤❤

I love both versions that you made! I was on the fence about buying this pattern until I watched your video. I wouldn't have thought to make a short sleeve version. Your use of the stripe in the athletic knit turned out super cute. Thank you for another great pattern review.

Love the purple one the best .

The purple & black version is my favorite. How you made the neckline stand out is genius. I love it. Thank you!

Have purchased thru affiliate link. Thanks Karina as I am looking for an elevated long sleeve top to wear to work in the office that keeps me warm at the same time. This is perfect! I love your long sleeve styled with the black pants as that look elongates your body and shows your figure off! A pefectly balanced and flattering look in my opinion! 😊❤ love your videos thank you

Love this neckline option. Next lightweight fleece I will be looking hard at this pattern.

I’m so happy this pattern came out! Bought it immediately. Can’t see spending over $150 (usd) for a brand name shirt similar to this.

I wasnt interested in the pattern when it showed up in my email notification but your short sleeve ¼ zip version in a rib knit inspired me after rummaging around in my stash. Thks

Wonderful. Been looking for something like this. Just used your link😊

@janicen6856 1 day ago

Thank you for another great video. I didn't need another sweater pattern, until I saw your makes. I just bought the pattern. I love the zipper style and that's now on my list for our next winter here in Oz :)

Love your hair !!!

Over a week since the last video; I was getting concerned. Glad to see you post and I’m happy you are doing this pattern. I have seen so many nice makes in the Facebook group! I love the zipper option.
I don’t really need a new pattern right now, but I’m thinking of buying it and will definitely use your link if I do 😁

I love the purple one!

So nice, Karina. Having the zip neckline inset with the zipper end tab like that, instead of set-in, will make the top's construction less fiddly for me, I think.

And I like that you made a short sleeved version! - Kelly

Karina, honest, I have been looking at shawl collar garment designs to sew next, all this week; what perfect timing! I guess it’s the weather starting to cool off and the leaves changing color (in Oregon, USA) is making me long for fall and winter, sigh….😊

Hi Karina, I bought this top with your link as soon as it was released. I was hoping you would make a video. Thank you! What pattern is the sleeveless swirly blue button-down top in the intro please.? I absolutely loved your content from Cambridge, i used to go fabric shopping there as a teenager on the bus from Newmarket. There was a HUGE fabric shop on St Andrews Street in the 80s and John Lewis had a huge fabric dept too.
