The Herbarium slipover is a vintage looking cropped slipover that fits perfectly layered over shirts and dresses. It is worked in an easy leaf pattern that creates a beautiful structure to the garment. The slipover is worked bottom up and in the round to the underarms. Then the front and back are divided to work each separately. The shoulders are shaped using short rows.

This is a carted pattern and it has already been tested and tech edited.
