The Weekend Slipover is worked from the top down. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth with the shoulder slope shaped using short rows. Then, each shoulder is worked separately and joined to form the front yoke. Front and back yoke are then joined to form the body, which is worked in the round on a circular needle to the hem. The ribbed neck edge and armhole edges are worked at the end, and the latter are worked with decreases at the armhole.Begin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge. SIZE GUIDE: The Weekend slipover is designed to have approx. 20-25 cm [7¾-9¾ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 20-25 cm [7¾-9¾ inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement.
