September Slipover - Paper

September Slipover is knitted top down in English rib. First the back piece is knitted, then the neck is cast on and worked back and forth on the needle with increases on each side. Then the shoulder stitches are picked up, which are worked separately and then gathered at the front to form the front piece. Below the armhole, the back piece and front piece meet to form the body, which is worked in the round on circular needle. Finally, the armholes and neckline are picked up to knit rib edges.

Size guide

September Slipover should have a positive ease of movement of approximately 10 cm. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a chest measurement 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 90 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit size S. A vest in size S has a chest width of 100 cm and in the above example will give a positive ease of movement of 10 cm.
