Relaxed, refined, and ready for anything — The Weekend Slipover is the kind of layering piece that earns a permanent place in your wardrobe. Worked top down with short-row shoulder shaping and a seamless body in the round, this sleeveless design is deceptively simple to knit and endlessly versatile to wear. Ribbed neck and armhole edges add a polished finish, with neat decreases at the armholes for a clean, flattering line.
Designed by Petite Knit, this is a satisfying intermediate project that knits up beautifully in a chunky single yarn or held together with a whisper of mohair for added warmth and halo.

Size Guide
The Weekend Slipover is designed with approx. 20–25 cm (7¾–9¾ inches) of positive ease — the fit is oversized. Measure your bust circumference and choose the size that matches your measurement in the “Fits Bust” column. For example, a 90 cm bust should knit size S (finished bust: 112 cm = 22 cm ease).
