Stockholm Slipover Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
📬 Printed Booklet (Posted to You)
Stockholm Slipover
The Stockholm Slipover is worked from the top down. The back yoke is worked first, followed by the shoulders and front, and finally the sections are joined to complete the body.
The slipover features slanted shoulders shaped with short rows for an excellent fit. Rib edges are worked along the neckline and armholes, and all edges are finished with an Italian bind-off for a clean, refined finish.
Work a swatch before beginning to ensure correct gauge—this is particularly important for achieving the intended shoulder width.
