The ribbing in the neck and in the sleeve opening is knitted at the end. and the latter is knitted with increases at the armhole.

Size guide

Weekend Slipover should have a room for movement ( positive ease) of approx. 20-25 cm in relation to your chest measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a chest measurement measured on your own body 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 112 cm and in the mentioned example will give a room for movement ( positive ease ) of 22 cm.
