This knitting pattern is in Swedish.
The September Slipover is knitted from top to bottom in brioche stitch. First, the back is knitted by casting on stitches for the neck and knitting back and forth on the needle with increases on each side. Then stitches are picked up for the shoulder sections, which are first knitted separately, and then joined at the front to knit the front piece. Under the armhole, the back piece and front piece meet to shape the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles. Finally, stitches are picked up at the armholes and neckline to knit ribbed edges.
Make a gauge swatch before you start to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge. Note that it is difficult to measure gauge in brioche stitch because it is elastic – so measure several times.
There is a video on the brioche stitch technique at www.petiteknit.com.
Size guide
The September Slipover should have a positive ease of about 10 cm. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement 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 fits you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around your bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A slipover in size S has a finished width of 100 cm and will in this example give a positive ease of 10 cm.
