My Slipover is ideal all year round with its timeless design and charming turtleneck. Its perfect stretchy fit and pattern can only make anyone feel comfortable. It's one of those knitting projects where it's not long between the first stitches until the project has flown off the needles again. There are videoguides throughout the pattern.
Workflow:
My Slipover is knitted from the top down. First the back piece is formed, then the shoulders by knitting increases which lead to the front piece. The back piece and front piece are then joined, and the body is knitted. Finally, knit the turtleneck and fasten all ends.
Size guide:
The size XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL will correspond to a bust measurement on your body of 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-105)105-110 (110-115) 115-120 (120-125), 125-130 cmv33.46-35.43 (35.43-37.4) 37.4-39.37 (39.37-41.34) 41.34-43.31 (43.31-45.28) 45.28-47.24 (47.24-49.21) 49.21-51.18 inch]. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size fits you best. For example, if you measure 92 cm [36.22 inch] around the fullest part of your bust, you should knit a size S, which has a bust circumference of 85 cm [33.46 inch] and will therefore create a negative ease of -7 cm [-2.76 inch].
The pictures in this pattern are based on this example to illustrate exactly what a negative ease of -7 cm [-2.76 inch] looks like. This allows you to evaluate and choose your desired ease.
