Etoile Slipover
Etoile Slipover is a collared slipover that can be layered or worn alone. It is worked seamlessly from the top down. No short rows are used in the pattern. The collar is added last by picking up stitches. You can skip it if you want to.
This design introduces you to shaping in pattern stitch. This technique can be used with any pattern stitch with a small number of stitches within each repeat.
Etoile slipover is graded with inclusive sizing in mind, designed to fit actual bust sizes from 76 cm / 30 inches to 168 cm / 66 inches. Measurements are given in both cm and inches. It comes with photo and video tutorials.
