Christmas Morning Slipover is part of our 2025 Christmas collection. The slipover features little presents with i-cord bows around the bottom of the body. It is worked from the bottom up, both flat and in the round, holding 1 strand of Merino + 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair together throughout.

You start working the body in the round up to the underarms. Here, work is divided and front and back are finished separately working back and forth while shaping armholes and neckline at the same time. Stitches for the neckband and armhole edges are picked up and finished in rib. The Fair Isle pattern is charted only.
