Weekend Slipover V-Neck

This knitting pattern is in Swedish and is sold as an A4 printout.

The Weekend Slipover V-neck is knitted from the top down. First, the top part of the back is knitted back and forth with short rows to create a sloped shoulder. Then the front pieces are knitted, while increases are worked to shape the V-neckline. The front pieces and back are then joined to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles. The ribbing at the neck and arm openings is knitted last, with the latter worked with decreases at the armholes.

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

Size Guide

The Weekend Slipover V-neck should have a positive ease of approx. 15-20 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 suit you best. If you, for example, measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit size S. A size S slipover has a width of 108 cm and will give the mentioned positive ease of 18 cm.
