Athens slipover
The Slipover is knitted top down following the chart during shaping the shoulders. The upper back is worked to the underarms and placed on hold. Stitches for the
shoulders are picked up along the cast on edge then decorated with the Lateral braid. The left
front is worked shaping V neck, then placed on hold while the right front is worked. The left and
right fronts are joined to the back and worked circularly to the hem. Finally, stitches for the
armhole openings and neckband are picked up and worked in 1x1 rib stitch.
