ADVENT SALE DAY 24 - use code ADVENT22 to receive 20% off the Over It Slipover and a free copy of the knitted Housey pattern :) Expires midnight GMT on Sunday 25th December. Happy knitting!

The knit you slip over everything, especially on days when you’re just feeling ‘over it’. :) Worked seamlessly from the top down, the Over It Slipover combines cables, double moss stitch, i-cord edgings and hidden shaping to create an elegant everyday item.

The pattern includes directions to modify for a shorter, longer, wider, and narrower waist, fuller bust, narrower or wider hips, or combination of any of the above. It is fully customisable to your body and style preference.

The detachable turtleneck makes for an especially useful transitional piece for those days when it’s chilly outdoors but you’re melting as soon as you step inside.

Construction: the Over It Slipover is worked seamlessly from the top down. It begins with casting on across the upper back, working short rows to shape the back neck and shoulders, then working back and forth in rows down to the waist. Stitches are then picked up along the right and left shoulders separately, shoulder shaping is worked, then the fronts are joined at the neck to work down to the waist.

Decreases are incorporated into the cable pattern, and the edgings are worked in double moss stitch. Upon reaching the waist, front and back pieces are joined to work in the round with an additional cable detail. Front and back are then divided once again to work the lower body pieces separately.

The Over It Slipover is #sizeinclusive from bust 28-62”.

I LOVE seeing people knit my patterns and make them their own - if you could tag @lilykatemakes and #OverItSlipover on Instagram that would be great!
