About the Sille Slipover Junior

The Sille Slipover Junior is worked from the top down in a knit and purl structure pattern. First the back yoke is worked, followed by the shoulders and front yoke, which are worked flat. The front and back yoke are then joined, and the body is worked in the round. Finally, rib edges are worked along the neck and armhole openings.

The textured stitch pattern gives the finished slipover a refined look, while the sleeveless shape makes it comfortable, versatile and ideal for layering through the seasons.

Yarn Included: Sandnes Garn Double Sunday

This kit uses Sandnes Garn Double Sunday, a soft and versatile 100% non-superwash merino wool yarn. Double Sunday is an 8ply / DK-weight yarn with approximately 108m per 50g ball, making it a beautiful choice for PetiteKnit garments and textured knitting.

Double Sunday is soft, warm, breathable and durable, with lovely stitch definition that helps the knit-and-purl texture of the Sille Slipover Junior stand out clearly. It is knitted as a single strand for this project.
