Friday Slipover Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
📬 Printed Booklet (Posted to You)
Friday Slipover
The Friday Slipover is worked from the top down in broken rib.
First the back yoke is worked, then the shoulders, followed by the front yoke and finally the body. Rib edges are worked at the neckline and along the armholes.
Please knit and wash a swatch before beginning. Broken rib stretches with washing and wear. Before washing, the gauge will measure approx. 24–25 stitches per 10 cm and will relax to the correct gauge after blocking. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for proper shoulder width and fit.
The slipover is designed with approx. 6 cm of positive ease.
Choose a size based on your bust measurement.
