This is a printed pattern to be mailed or picked up.
This style is so versatile, we all wanted different lengths. So here you have it—cropped, hip, tunic, and dress lengths. Or any length you’d like! It’s quite simple to customize your Slipover—for your personal style or body type, as a long layer with side vents, or as a short topper over a tee, to be dressed up or down.
We designed eight different sizes and four different lengths in a variety of summery fibers. You might want to knit a few and mix it up!
This 8 page pattern includes:
- Color photographs by the talented Jared Flood
- A Special Technique—‘flat slipped-stitch’ edging (to keep those side vents from rolling)
- Step-by-step guide for adjusting body & armhole lengths, with a fill-in-the-blank section to help with the math
- A tutorial on picking up stitches for neck & armhole edgings (along horizontal, vertical and sloped edges) accompanied by color photos
- Instructions for swatching for gauge and fabric, and finishing and blocking your garment
