Lulu Slipover - Paper
This recipe is in Norwegian.
Lulu Slipover is knitted from the top down. The vest has deep armholes and closes at the sides with two buttons. First the back piece is knitted and then the front piece. Along the sleeve openings, rib edges are knitted, and along the sides, which form a split at the bottom, double-knit edges are knitted. In the front of these double-knit edges, two buttonholes are knitted. Finally, a rib edge is knitted at the neck.
Size guide
The Lulu Slipover should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 20 cm in the smallest sizes, but gradually less in the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement of 75-80 (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 given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to assess which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit size S. A vest in size S has an upper width of 109 cm and in the aforementioned example will provide a range of movement (positive ease) of 19 cm.
