General description

The Aina Slipover is the ultimate versatile piece! The only limit is your imagination when it comes to pairing it with other clothing items. Thanks to its classic design, it can be worn over anything from a T-shirt to a dress shirt, and it goes with any bottom you feel comfortable in. The neat ribbed edges give the slipover a polished look.

The Aina Slipover is knitted seamlessly from top to bottom. It starts by knitting the back piece flat until the armholes, after which each shoulder is made and joined by casting on stitches for the neckline. Knitting continues flat until the armholes. After that, the front and back pieces are joined to form a seamless round knit down to the hem.

The Aina Slipover is knitted using a combination of warm merino wool and silk mohair.
