Lulu Slipover - PetiteKnit

Garn suggestion no. 3 is 60 Garner Nord's own yarn spun from Hjelholt. You can advantageously knit with 1 strand of merino together with 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair from our Knitting for Olive. Or in our new beautiful yarn Varde from Hillesvåg 200m/hg. 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 and then the front piece. Along the armhole, ribbed edges are knitted, and along the sides, which at the bottom form a slit, double-knitted edges are knitted. In the front of these double-knitted edges, two buttonholes are knitted. Finally, a ribbed edge is knitted at the neck. Size guide 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 suit 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 width of 109 cm and will in the mentioned example give a positive ease of 19 cm.
