We all hate when people steal out ideas and even worse our knitting patterns but I had to mention this Fendi “inspired” bag created by Cara. One can argue that it’s not copyrighted as it is different from the original, including the handle style. The point is it’s adorable and I am sure we all are going to have a go at making it.

Knitting Pattern Review: Sabai Top by PaulaStrickt
Trending now — and for good reason!
Alright fellow knitters, if you’ve been scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest lately, you’ve probably spotted the Sabai Top popping up everywhere. And let me tell you — the hype is totally justified. This lightweight, drapey top by PaulaStrickt has quickly become a must-knit, and it’s easy to see why.
The Sabai Top has that magical mix of style and simplicity. With its elegant A-line shape, soft rolled neckline, and relaxed fit, it flatters every body and suits just about every wardrobe. It’s knit top-down in the round, which means no seams (yes please!), and it flows beautifully thanks to its clever shaping.
It’s ideal for warmer weather and perfect for layering. I’ve seen it styled casually over jeans or thrown over a sundress, and honestly? It looks stunning every single time. That easy, wearable style is what’s made this one take off in the knitting world right now.
PaulaStrickt’s instructions are beautifully laid out, with both English and German versions included. It’s written with clarity and care, and includes helpful photos throughout. I’d say it’s best for confident beginners and up — if you’re comfortable knitting in the round and shaping, you’ll be right at home.
The sizing is generous and inclusive, and it’s so adaptable with different fibres. Linen, cotton, bamboo blends — they all shine in this pattern. I’ve cast on with a blush cotton-linen from my stash, and it’s knitting up like a dream.
This is one of those patterns you just know you’ll make more than once. The fit, the drape, the ease… it’s everything I want in a handmade top. No wonder it’s trending — it’s the kind of timeless knit that never really goes out of style.
the Clara BeBe site is closed? here is the message: Please take note that i have removed the blog and sales sections.
I have been and would still be busy for quite sometimes.
Hopefully I would be free to pick up my knitting soon. Enjoy crafting!
You still can access and join the Knitters Community, a crafts discussion board 🙁
What a shame her blog is gone, I wonder if it was due to copyright and fendi issues??
I love Fendi and searched and searched and cannot find anything on Clara BeBe site other than she closed her site. What a shame! Maybe this would have been the closest I would have gotten to owning a Fendi. 🙁 Maybe one of you clever users can find Cara!
Damn..the blog is gone 🙁 I so want the pattern..do you by any chance have this pattern?? I love the pink bag you made..looks so so pretty…..so wanna make it 🙁

The closest pattern for the Fendi bag is at berroco.com (free pattern fantissimo and crystal)with some adjustments I think it will be very close.
