Stockholm Slipover - V-Neck Adult, Petite Knit. Knitting Pattern

A lovely lightweight winter and trans-season layering piece - a v-neck slipover vest that has been designed to be knit with two strands of yarn held together. One 3ply/light fingering together with one 2ply mohair silk for a little halo/fluff.

The Stockholm Slipover V-neck has a V-shaped neckline and is worked from the top down. First, the back part of the yoke is worked, then the front shoulders and finally the body. The Stockholm Slipover V-neck has slanting shoulders that create a good fit and which are shaped using short rows. Rib edges are worked along the V-neck edge and armhole edges, and the edges are finished with an Italian bind-off.

Begin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge – it is important for the shoulder width of the design that the correct gauge is achieved.

Designed to have approximately 5cm positive ease.
