Lulu Slipover - PetiteKnit

Yarn suggestion no. 3 is 60 Garner Nord's own yarn spun from Hjelholt's

You can advantageously knit with 1 strand of merino together with 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair from our Knitting for Olive. Or with our new beautiful yarn Varde from Hillesvåg 200m/100g.

The Lulu Slipover is knitted from top to bottom. The slipover has a deep armhole and is fastened at the sides with two buttons. First, the back is knitted, followed by the front piece. Along the armhole, ribbed edges are knitted, and along the sides, which form a slit at the bottom, double-knitted edges are made. In the front of these double-knitted edges, two buttonholes are knitted. Finally, a ribbed edge is knitted at the neckline.

Size guide

The Lulu Slipover should have a positive ease of about 20 cm in the smallest sizes but gradually less in the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement of

75-80 (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. For example, if you 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 chest circumference of 109 cm and will in this example give a positive ease of 19 cm.
