Hyacinth slipover is a classic slipover with cablework. It’s knitted from the bottom up according to charts. If you haven’t knitted twists/cables or after charts before – don’t fear. Here you will be guided through all techniques. There are also beginner guides on how to knit twists/cables and how to follow a chart.

The slipover has a classic shape with a low ease and fits nicely over both dresses, just as well as for jeans and skirts. If you want a more oversize fit, you can choose a size larger than stated.

You should choose the size based on your breast width. If you are on the limit, you may want to consider whether you should take a size larger or smaller, depending on your shape. The slipover will expand during wash and block in width. This is taken care of in the objectives stated underned.
