Stockholm V-Neck Slipover

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

Stockholm Slipover V-neck has a V-neckline and is knitted from the top down. First the back piece, then the shoulder sections and finally the body. Stockholm Slipover V-neck has a shoulder slope created using short rows at the shoulders, to achieve a good fit. Ribbing is knitted along the V-neckline and armholes, which is picked up with a tight Italian pick-up method.

Make a gauge swatch before you start knitting ? it is essential for the shoulder width that the gauge is maintained.

Size Guide

Stockholm Slipover V-neck should have a movement allowance (positive ease) of approx. 5 cm relative to your bust measurement (i.e. that the slipover should be approx. 5 cm larger than you in circumference). The bust measurement indicates the measurement of your body, while the slipover's width is stated on the front of the pattern. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm.

Measure yourself, before you start knitting, to determine which size suits you best. If you, for example, measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S, which has a width of 95 cm. This gives you a movement allowance of 5 cm.
