SexyBack Slipover English

SexyBack Slipover Knitting Pattern (English)

The SexyBack Slipover has a deep V-shaped neck front and back. Starting off with the rib, the neck is shaped as a V by increasing. Then, working in Stockinette front- and back pieces are worked one by one, from the top down while at the same time binding off the stitches of the rib. All pieces are joined after shaping the armholes, and finished with a rib trim.

The skipover has a positive ease of 10-15 cm. This means you should choose a size measuring 10-15 cm more than your chest circumference. If your chest measures 96 cm, you should choose a size M with a circumference of 111 cm.
