This pattern suits beginners and more advanced knitters who value attention to detail: it incorporates all the techniques that I consider essential for a refined finishing.
The slipover is worked from the bottom up in two separate panels (front and back). The two panels are then joined at the shoulders with Kitchener stitch. Finally, the neck and armhole stitches are picked up to add the trims.
It’s a fairly cropped garment, but the pattern indicates where you can increase the length, if you wish to. With a recommended ease of 0-5 cm, it has a flattering fit but hanks to the soft yarn and deep armholes, it’s very comfy.
