Holiday Slipover Junior - Paper

Holiday Slipover Junior is a chunky slipover with a deep armhole. Holiday Slipover Junior is knitted top down in stocking stitch. First the back piece is knitted, then the shoulders and front piece and finally the body. At the bottom of the body a two-part rib edge is knitted, where the back piece is knitted longer than the front. Finally, rib edges are knitted along the neckline and armholes and finished with Italian bind-off for a great finished look.

Knit a sample before you start. Note that you knit with three strands (two of the thick yarn and one strand of silk mohair).
