Lulu Slipover Junior - Paper
Lulu Slipover Junior 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
Lulu Slipover Junior should have a positive ease of approx. 20 cm in relation to the bust measurement. Sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-11) 11-12 (12-14) years correspond to a bust measurement of 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 (82) cm. The measurements of the finished slipover are stated on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the knitting tension is observed). If the recipient e.g. measures 57 cm around the bust, you should knit size 4-5 years. A slipover in size 4-5 years has an upper width of 77 cm and will in the above example give a positive ease of 20 cm. If the measured bust size deviates from the age guide, you should be aware of adjusting the lengths to the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter/taller than average.
