The Laurel Crewneck Slipover is knit bottom up in the round and split at the armholes. From the armholes up, the front and back of the slipover are knit separately and seamed together are the shoulders. For this project I used Lion Brand’s worsted weight Wool-Ease in the color rainforest. It features a 1x1 twisted rib crewneck collar, hem and armholes with 2-4” of positive ease. An experienced garment knitter would love this mindless knit and the ease of care with this yarn— it’s soft, affordable and easy to care for; I literally wash and tumble dry on low heat!
