The chicest way to do cozy!
Sybil is a refined knit sweatshirt that combines the comfort of an oversized fit with a wide lapel collar, giving a subtle nod to tailoring.
The oversized body paired with a deep V-neckline and sleeves that narrow at the hem makes it the perfect layering piece across seasons. It can be worn out or tucked in, adding interest to your casual outfits or a playful touch to your officewear.
It can also be worn as a blouse, without an underlayer. In that case, I recommend sizing down and securing the neckline with a handstitch.
Clean construction details can be achieved with an overlocker or regular sewing machine using a stretch stitch. A coverstitch machine is not required for this pattern. Sybil is available in two size ranges: 34–46, drafted for a B/C cup and featuring two pleats at the bust, and 46–60, drafted for a DD cup.

I draft and grade my sewing patterns for a height of 5’5” (1.65m) from size 34 to 60 (see below). When applicable, the size range is divided between 34-46, developed for B/C cup size, and 46-60, developed for a DD cup size.
If your body measurements are at least one size outside of the size range, I grade up or down at no cost.
See the sizing page for more information.
Select your size based on your bust measurement; if you are a size 46, choose 34-46 for a B/C cup or 46-60 for a D cup and above. If you plan to wear it as a blouse, consider sizing down.

Measurements in centimeters, then inches.
I am 5'3 (1m60) and I wear the grey Milano version and the oatmeal sweater knit samples in size 34 with no modifications. Lilli is wearing the brown Milano sample in size 50 with no changes. Pauline wears the red sample in size 46 of the 34-46 size range with the arms lengthened.
For this pattern, I recommend stable to medium-weight knits with structure and recovery, such as Milano knit, ponte, double knit, interlock, or sweater knit. Fabrics with less stretch will accentuate the architectural collar, while those with more drape will create a softer appearance.
