Eton Slipover is a classic cabled “cricket vest” with a V-neck. The vest is worked from charts and from the top down with 2 strands of Merino held together throughout. You start working the back and front pieces separately back and forth before joining work at underarms. The body is finished in the round with a ribbed hem before picking up stitches for the arm openings and the neckband. Arm openings and the twocolored neckband are both finished in rib.
The cabled stitch pattern is charted only.
