Weekend Slipover V-neck is knitted top down. First, the upper part of the back is knitted back and forth with shortened rounds, so that a slope is formed on the shoulders. Then the front pieces are knitted, at the same time increases are knitted so that the V-neckline is formed. The front piece and the back are then joined to form the body, which is knitted in the round on a circular needle. The elastic edge in the neck and in the armhole is knitted very last, the latter of which is knitted with decreases at the armhole.
Knit a test patch to find the stitch size that gives you the right stitch strength.
Size guide
Weekend Slipover V-neck should have a range of motion (positive ease) of approx. 15-20 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 108 cm and in the mentioned example will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 18 cm.
