Weekend Slipover

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

The Weekend Slipover is knitted from the top down. First, the top part of the back is knitted back and forth with short rows to create a shoulder slope. Then the shoulder sections are knitted, which are then joined at the front to knit the front piece. The front piece and back are then joined to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles. The ribbing at the neck and sleeve openings is knitted last, with the latter being knitted with decreases at the armhole.

Knit a gauge swatch to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge.

Size Guide

The Weekend Slipover should have a positive ease of approx. 20-25 cm relative to your bust measurement. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, measured directly on the body, of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished slipover are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit 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. A slipover in size S has a width of 112 cm and will give the mentioned example a positive ease of 22 cm.

The model in the picture wears a size XS, has a bust measurement of 82 cm and is 164 cm tall.
