Moby Slipover - PetiteKnit

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

It looks very nice with 60 Garn Nords own yarn or 1 strand of Tvinni together with 1 strand of Silk Mohair Isager.

The Moby Slipover is knitted from top to bottom with texture and cable knitting. First, the back is knitted, then stitches are picked up for the shoulders which are then joined at the front to knit the front piece. The front piece and back are then joined under the armhole to continue knitting the body straight down. Finally, ribbed edges are knitted at the neck and arm openings. Make a gauge swatch to determine which needle size you need to match the gauge - note that this can vary from yarn to yarn. Be aware to wash the swatch before measuring as texture knitting can "grow" after washing.

Size guide

The Moby Slipover should have a positive ease of about 10-15 cm in relation 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. 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 102 cm and in the mentioned example will give a positive ease of 12 cm.
