Stockholm Slipover V-neck - Paper
Stockholm Slipover V-neck has a V-neck and is knitted from the top down. First the back, then the shoulders and finally the body. Stockholm Slipover V-neck has a shoulder slope, formed using shortened/reversible needles, on the shoulders to achieve a good fit. Along the V-neck and armholes, rib edges are knitted and cast off with a tight Italian cast-off.
Knit a test piece before you start – it is important for the shoulder width that the knitting tension is adhered to.
Size guide
Stockholm Slipover V-neck should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 5 cm in relation to your chest measurement (i.e. the slipover should be approx. 5 cm larger than you in circumference). 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. Measure yourself before you start knitting, to assess 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, which has a chest width of 95 cm. This gives you a range of movement of 5 cm.
