Saxon Slipover My Size is worked from the bottom up. The bottom ribbed edge is first worked flat as two separate pieces (one for the front and one for the back), which are joined to form a slit at each side of the slipover. The slipover is then worked in the round until the armholes, and then back and forth as a single piece. The front is adorned with the Irish Saxon Braid and symmetrical twists on a background of reverse stocking stitch. The shoulders are shaped with short rows and joined with a 3-needle bind off. The neckline opening and armholes are finished with ribbed edges.

Size guide

Saxon Slipover is a hip-length model that is designed to have a classic fit with approx. 5-10 cm of positive ease compared to your bust measurement. Measure your full bust circumference before beginning and choose the size that is 5 to 10 cm larger than your measurement. The slipover is designed to have a scoop neck and the armholes should accommodate a light top, shirt or t-shirt underneath. The pattern includes 3 optional modifications to adjust slipover length, armhole depth and the extent to which the neckline dips at the front of the slipover.

Gauge

16 stitches x 24 rows = 10 x 10 cm 4 x 4 inchestocking stitch on a 5.00 mm US8 needle).

Suggested needle size

5.00 mm US8 circular needle, 4.50 mm US7 circular needle for ribbing. Make a swatch to ensure that your gauge is correct before you start the pattern. Depending on how you knit, you may need to go up or down half a needle size to meet the gauge. Gauge in the suggested yarn is measured after washing and blocking of a swatch. Note that row gauge is very important in this pattern as it dictates the neckline and shoulder shaping.

DANSK

Saxon Slipover My Size strikkes nedefra og op. Den nederste kant strikkes frem og tilbage, nedefra og op i to dele (en fortil og en bagtil), hvilke sammenføjes til at danne slidser i hver side af vesten. Vesten strikkes derefter rundt til ærmegabene, hvor der strikkes frem og tilbage i hvert sit stykke. Forstykket dekoreres med den keltiske fletning Saxon Braid og symmetriske snoninger på en vrangstrikket baggrund. Skuldrene formgives med vendepinde og strikkes sammen med 3-needle-bind-off metoden. Afslutningsvis strikkes der ribkanter i halsudskæringen og rundt om ærmegabene.

Størrelsesguide

Saxon Slipover er en model, der går til hoften med et klassisk fit, der er designet til at have ca. 5-10 cm i bevægelsesrum i forhold til dit brystmål. Vesten har en afrundet hals og plads nok i ærmegabet til at have en tynd skjorte eller t-shirt på indenunder. Opskriften indeholder instruktioner til 3 valgfrie ændringer i forhold til længden, dybden på ærmegabet og dybden på halsudskæringen foran.

Færdige mål

Omkreds: ca. 92 (97) 102 (107) 112 (117) 122 (127) 137 (147) 157 cm. Bemærk at snoningen foran trækker forsiden let sammen, og det anbefales at vaske og blokke slipoveren for at opnå disse færdige mål.

Længde, målt fra skulder til nederste kant foran: ca. 55,5 (56,5) 57,5 (57,5) 58,5 (59,5) 60,5 (60,5) 62,5 (63,5) 64,5 cm

Strikkefasthed

16 masker x 24 pinde = 10 x 10 cm (i glatstrik på pind 5 mm).

Vejledende pindestørrelse

5 mm rundpind, 4,5 mm rundpind til alle kanter. Lav en strikkeprøve inden du går i gang, så du er sikker på at strikkefastheden passer. Afhængig af din strikkestil, kan du være nødt til at skifte til en større eller mindre pind. Bemærk at strikkefastheden i højden er meget vigtig, da dette bidrager til formen på udskæringen og ærmegab.
