Moby Slipover

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

It will be very nice with the yarn Lore or Heavy Merino together with 1 Soft Silk Mohair 

Moby Slipover is knitted from top to bottom with structure and braid knitting. First the back is knitted, then stitches are picked up for the shoulders, which are then brought together at the front to knit the front piece. The front piece and the back are in turn brought together under the armhole to continue working on the torso, which is worked straight down. Finally, elastic edges are knitted in the neck and sleeve opening. Do a swatch to determine what size stitch you need to use to match the stitch strength - note that this can vary from yarn to yarn. Be careful to wash the swatch before measuring as structured knitting can "grow" after washing.

Size guide

Moby Slipover should have a range of motion (positive ease) of approx. 10-15 cm in relation to your bust measurement. The 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 e.g. measures 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A slipover in size S has an overall width of 102 cm and in the mentioned example will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 12 cm.
