This slipover is the perfect wardrobe accessory, ideal for chilly autumn and spring days but still cosy enough for the winter and dresses up any outfit.

The construction for this slipover is done by working the top back first flat, then working the shoulders back and forth before joining together to create the front neckline which is still worked flat. Then after shaping you will join the front and back panels together to continue the waffle stitch in the round. Then finished with a 1x1 half twisted rib stitch, which is also added to the collar and armholes. Shaping to the front and back are made with increases when working flat.

Two options are given for the shaping in regards to the arm opening should you wish to have a tighter fit, please note that this option is untested and only given as a suggestion.
