Zipper Slipover - Paper
The Zipper Slipover is knitted from the top down. The neckline is knitted in rib, which is placed double and knitted down. The shoulders are then knitted with increases on both the right and wrong sides, and the neckline is knitted in reverse rows. The front pieces are put to rest while the back pieces are knitted. The front pieces are then knitted, and finally the front and back pieces are gathered to form the body, which is knitted straight down. A rib is knitted in the armhole from the open stitches. Finally, the zipper overlay is knitted from the resting stitches, so that the zipper also looks nice from the wrong side. The zipper is finally attached by sewing it in between the two knitted layers.
Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the right gauge.
Size guide
The Zipper Slipover should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 25 cm in relation to your chest measurement. The fit is oversized. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a chest measurement, measured on your own body, of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished vest are stated on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting, to consider which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 88 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit size S. A vest in size S has an upper width of 113 cm and in the aforementioned example will provide a range of movement (positive ease) of 25 cm.
