Weekend Slipover V-Neck Women's Petite Knit

Create your perfect layering piece with the Weekend Slipover V-Neck!

This beautifully designed slipover is worked from the top down, making it a joy to knit. You'll start with the back yoke, working back and forth with elegant shoulder shaping using short rows. Each front is then worked separately with increases that create the flattering V-neckline. Once the front and back yoke are joined, you'll work the body in the round on a circular needle all the way to the hem – so satisfying to watch it grow! The ribbed neck edge and armhole edges are added at the end for a polished finish.

Before you begin: We recommend working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge.

About the fit:
The Weekend Slipover V-Neck is designed with approximately 15-20 cm [6-7¾ inches] of positive ease, giving you a relaxed, comfortable fit that's perfect for layering. To find your size, measure around your bust (or the widest part of your upper body). For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches], you'd knit a size S, which has a finished bust circumference of 108 cm [42½ inches] – giving you 18 cm [7 inches] of lovely ease.
