Weekend Slipover V-neck is knitted top-down. First, the upper part of the back is knitted back and forth with short rows to shape a slope on the shoulders. Then the front pieces are knitted, simultaneously increasing to shape the V-neckline. The front and back are then joined to shape the body, which is knitted in the round on a circular needle. The ribbing at the neck and armholes is knitted last, with the latter knitted with decreases at the armhole.
Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge.
Size guide
Weekend Slipover V-neck should have a positive ease of about 15-20 cm relative to your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, taken 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 108 cm and will in the mentioned example give a positive ease of 18 cm.
