September Slipover

September Slipover is knitted from top to bottom in stockinette stitch. First knit the back. by casting stitches up to the neck and knitting back and forth on the needle with removals on each side. The stitches are then gathered up to the shoulders. which are knitted separately and then joined together at the front of the piece. Below the armhole, the back piece and front piece meet to form the body. which is knitted in the round on circular needle. Finally, stitches are picked up in the armhole and in the neck opening to knit ribbed edges.

Size guide

The September Slipover should have a movement space ( positive ease ) of approximately 10 cm. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to chest measurements of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 ( 130-140) 140-150 cm. The dimensions of the finished slipover are indicated on the front of the recipe. Measure yourself. before you start knitting. to assess which size. that will suit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your body). should you knit a size S. A slipover in size S has an excess width of 100 cm and in the mentioned example will provide a room for movement ( positive ease ) of 10 cm.
