• The design of the Bruno Slipover exhibits a sophisticated interplay of geometric elements, with square armholes seamlessly integrating with a rounded neckline. The understated, boyish charm of this piece serves to enhance its unique aesthetic, while meticulous attention to detail underscores a keen sense of style and form. In this garment, simplicity, and sophistication converge, making it an effortlessly chic addition to any wardrobe.

• The Bruno Slipover is worked from the bottom up in stockinette stitch. The edges are created with a 1x1 twisted rib. The work begins with the body in the round. The stitches are then divided to knit the front and back separately, back and forth. The rounded neckline and sloped shoulders are shaped with a Sloped Bind-Off technique. Following this, the shoulders are sewn together. Stitches are then picked up and knitted to work the neckline in the round in a 1x1 twisted rib, which is then folded and sewn in place. In the end, stitches are picked up along the armholes, to work the edges back and forth in a 1x1 twisted rib, which is then folded and sewn in place. The pattern includes detailed instructions on beginning the knitting from the middle of the body with a Provisional Cast-on. This feature allows you to continue the work at the end, adjusting the garment length to match your fit preference.
