Emma Slipover is a simple and elegant slipover with wide cables on front and back. It is worked from the top down on 7 mm / US10.75 needles using 1 strand of Heavy Merino + 1 strand of Merino + 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together. You start with the upper back piece and work back and forth to the underarms. Next, stitches are picked up for the fronts, and these are worked separately back and forth at first and later joined. Front and back are joined at the underarms and work is continued in the round down to the split hem where you again work back and front separately back and forth. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neckband and edges around the armholes, and these are then finished with i-cord edges.
