The Lulu Slipover is knitted from the top down. The vest is closed with buttons on both sides.

A beautiful detail in this knit is the button plackets made with double knitting. The cuffs, collar, and hem are ribbed.

The kit includes Sandnes Garn Tynn Peer Gynt yarn, which is 100% Norwegian wool yarn that hardly pills and only softens with use. The mohair yarn used in the vest is Sandnes Garn Tynn Silk Mohair, which gives the vest a fluffy and slightly shiny surface.

 

The Lulu Slipover is designed to have approx. 20 cm [8 inches] of positive ease in the smaller sizes and then gradually less positive ease in the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches]. The measurements for the finished slipover are listed on the front page of the pattern. Measure yourself before starting your project, to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S slipover has a bust circumference of 109 cm [43 inches], which in the given example would give you 19 cm [7½ inches] of positive ease.

Intermediate

The patterns in this category require that you have experience with and feel confident in using the basic knitting techniques, as the patterns contain more advanced techniques for example for casting on, picking up and knitting stitches or working short rows.

You may need to keep track of multiple elements at the same time – for example you may need to work a charted pattern while working shaping at the same time.
