CONSTRUCTION
This slipover is worked from the bottom up, in pieces, starting with a twisted ribbing and then changing to Stockinette Stitch. The back ribbing is longer than front ribbing. Woven patches are worked on the body. The ribbing on the neck and armholes is worked after the shoulders are sewn together.
