Plain
Plain is a straight and simple oversized slipover perfect to wear over a shirt or a blouse. It´s knitted from top to bottom and is completely seamless. You start by knitting the back and then continue with the front to be able to connect the pieces under the armholes. After that you can knit the rest of the slipover in the round with stockinette and you finish the work with I-cord edges. A thread of light fingering yarn is held together with a thread of mohair or you can choose to use one thread of DK weight yarn.
