Moby Slipover Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
📬 Printed Booklet (Posted to You)
Moby Slipover
The Moby Slipover is worked seamlessly from the top down in a richly textured pattern, creating a timeless slipover ideal for layering.
First the back is worked flat. Stitches are then picked up along the cast-on edge to form the shoulders, which are joined at the front to create the front piece. The front and back are joined under the armholes, and the body is worked in the round on circular needles.
Finally, ribbed edges are worked around the neckline and armholes for a neat finish.
The Moby Slipover is designed to have approx. 10–15 cm of positive ease.
Before beginning your project, knit a swatch to check which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge. Wash and block your swatch before measuring, as textured knits can grow after washing.
