Stockholm Slipover

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

The Stockholm Slipover is knitted from the top down. First the back piece, then the shoulder sections and the front piece, and finally the body. The Stockholm Slipover has a slant over the shoulders created using short rows to ensure a good fit. A ribbed edge is knitted along the neckline and armholes, which is finished with a tight Italian bind-off.

Make a gauge swatch before you start ? it is very important for the shoulder width that the gauge is correct.
