Note: If you’ve been wanting to knit this design after seeing Rachael @minimalistmachinist versions, keep in mind that the pattern got a big update in the beginning of this year and I already decreased the total length in the new sample. So if you’d like a more cropped version as well you might need to take of less.

Perfect to wear when the evening falls for an extra layer or warmth, that’s the Schemer Slipover. Thanks to the large armholes, it’s the ideal partner to wear over summerdresses or blouses with wide sleeves. The design itself looks simple, but the split seam that runs along the side seams and the different techniques makes the pattern quite interesting to make. The pattern is suited for beginners who are looking for an extra challenge or more experienced knitters who want a fast knit.
