Stockholm Slipover Knitting Yarn Kit Sizes up to XL

Make your own cosy Winter vest using a high quality 10ply Alpaca/Merino yarn. Using only a single strand of this soft, worsted yarn will be easier for beginners, especially those new to knitting in-the-round. 

Two options:

1. Yarn Only Bundle of SEVEN (7) balls of Sesia Pura Lana Ecologica in shade Pale Grey   which is enough to make any of the garment sizes up to XL. (RRP $129.50); or
2. Yarn Bundle + PDF* digital pattern of the Stockholm Slipover (round neck version) pattern by PetiteKnit included. This will be emailed separately for you to print from home or view on your devices. 

The Stockholm Slipover vest is worked from the top down. The back part of the yoke is worked first, then the shoulders and front and finally the two sections are joined for the body of the slipover. The Stockholm Slipover has slanting shoulders that create a very good fit and which are shaped using short rows. Rib edges are picked up and worked along the neck edge and armholes, and all the edges are finished with an Italian bind-off.

This yarn kit can make any of the following 6 Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL

Sizes are intended for a bust / chest circumference of approx. 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110cm with approximately 6cm positive ease, meaning that the finished vest should be 6cm larger than your chest measurement to ensure wearing comfort and enable you to wear clothing underneath the slipover.

Finished Measurement of Stockholm Slipover (approx):
Bust circumference: 91 (96) 100 (105) 116  cm
Back width incl. rib edges: 35 (35) 36 (38) 40   cm
Armhole depth: 22 (23) 24 (25) 26  cm
