Stockholm Slipover Mini - Paper
Stockholm Slipover Mini is knitted from the top down. First the back, then the shoulders and front, and finally the body. To get a good fit, Stockholm Slipover Mini has a shoulder slope formed by using shortened rows (turning rows) on the shoulders. Along the neckline and armholes, rib edges are knitted and cast off with an Italian bind off.
Knit a test piece before you start – it is important for the shoulder width that the knitting tension is adhered to.
