Sombrio Polo Pattern (Men's) - PDF DOWNLOAD

A classic wardrobe staple that combines comfort with presentability. This easy-fitting Polo features a smartly pointed medium-sized knit collar, a partial button or snap placket, and the option to sew long or short sleeves.

The instructions include thoughtful finishing details such as a fully enclosed neckline seam, a back neck facing, and ribbed cuffs (for the long sleeve variation). Create high-end hanger appeal by selecting coordinating materials and a label for the back neck facing and the neckline twill tape.

Recommended Fabrics:

All Variations: Light to medium-weight knit fabrics with at least 20% stretch.

Variation 1: Ribbed knit for the long sleeve cuffs. Self fabric can be used for the collar. Or, for a more traditional polo look, use a 1x1 rib knit.

• Easier to sew: More stable knits such as thick t-shirt knits. Interlock or French terry are good examples of stable knits. Cotton blends with 6% or less spandex contend are generally easier to sew. For a more traditional polo, look for Pique knits.
• More challenging to sew: Very stretchy or thin knits that are prone to curling at their edges. They will still make excellent t-shirts but will be more challenging to sew. Bamboo, cotton or hemp jersey blends, tissue-weight knits, ribbed knits, or athletic materials with a large spandex content are good examples of very stretchy knits.

Materials Needed:

• Matching thread
• Stretch or ball-point needle
• 3 x 1/2" - 3/4" buttons or snaps
• Optional: 1/4 yd of lightweight knit fusible interfacing
• Optional: twin needle for hems
• 1 yd of 3/4" wide twill tape for neckline finishing and shoulder seam reinforcement
