• The Bruno Slipover is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. It begins with the left and right back sections, which are worked separately. After casting on stitches for the neck, the pieces are joined to work the back as one piece. Next, stitches are picked up to work the left and right fronts separately. Once the front neck stitches are cast on, the front pieces are joined and worked straight. Stitches are then picked up along the armholes to create the edges, which are worked back and forth in a 1x1 twisted rib. This ribbing is folded in half and attached on the wrong side. After this, all parts are joined to work the body in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up and knitted to work the neckline in the round in a 1x1 twisted rib, which is also folded in half and attached on the wrong side.

Sizes:
XS / S / M / L / XL / 2XL / 3XL /
The Bruno Vest has an oversized, cropped fit and is designed to have approx. 20 cm 8 in of positive ease with slightly reduced ease in larger sizes, to ensure a more comfortable fit. This means the garment’s measurements will be approx. 20 cm 8 in larger than your actual bust circumference.
The sizes XS / S / M / L / XL / 2XL / 3XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 / 85-90 / 90-95 / 95-100 / 100-110 / 110-120 / 120-130 cm 31½-33½ / 33½-35½ / 35½-37½ / 37½-39½ / 39½-43¼ / 43¼-47¼ / 47¼-51 ¼ in.
Before you begin, measure yourself to determine the right size. For example, if your bust circumference is 92 cm 36½ in, you should knit a size M. If you are between sizes, choose the size based on how loose you prefer the slipover to fit. Using the diagram with the finished garment measurements can be a helpful reference when deciding which size to select.
