Sille Slipover Knit Kit
Sille Slipover Knitting Kit – PetiteKnit x Sandnes Garn Double Sunday
Create a beautifully textured wardrobe staple with the Sille Slipover Knitting Kit. Designed by PetiteKnit, the Sille Slipover is a modern knitted vest with a refined knit-and-purl structure, neat ribbed edges and a comfortable, slightly relaxed fit.
This curated knitting kit includes the printed PetiteKnit pattern, Sandnes Garn Double Sunday in your chosen colour, and stitch holder cords — with the number of yarn balls included according to your selected size.
Knitted from the top down, the Sille Slipover is a satisfying garment project with elegant construction details. Wear it layered over shirts, dresses, long sleeves or lightweight knits for an effortless handmade piece you’ll reach for again and again.
The beige Sille Slipover is knitted in the color Almond [2511].
About the Sille Slipover
The Sille Slipover is worked from the top down in a knit and purl texture pattern. First the back yoke is worked, followed by the shoulders and front yoke. The front and back are then joined, and the body is worked in the round before ribbed edges are added around the neck, armholes and hem.
This is a timeless slipover design with a contemporary Scandinavian feel — simple enough for everyday wear, yet detailed enough to make the knitting enjoyable from start to finish.
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, offering beautiful stitch definition for textured knitting.
Double Sunday is warm, breathable and durable, making it an excellent choice for a wearable knitted vest you’ll enjoy through many seasons.
PLEASE NOTE: You will be knitting this with a single strand of Double Sunday
