About Selma Slipover

The Selma Slipover knitting pattern is a perfect beginner knitting project for those new to the knitting community, but still a fun, easy and quick knit for anyone who is already experienced! This piece is all about casual comfort and the fluffiest wool makes it the perfect cozy layering slipover! The oversized fit brings a laid-back and modern feel to the garment and the V-Neck and high slit on each side provide some intresting details to an otherwise simple and timeless slipover. The Slipover is knitted top down with big knitting needles wich makes it the fastest knit and therefore a perfect quick gift knit!
