PATTERN NOTES
Vest is worked bottom up in separate panels for
Front and Back. Front and Back are worked flat.
Neckline and Armhole Ribbing are added last.

A slipover is a useful thing to have around when the seasons can’t make up their minds. Here Sian Brown’s design pairs an easy-to-layer shape with the lightweight warmth and fuzzy halo of Scheepjes Cuddles.

If you enjoy settling into a stretch of stocking stitch, this is the kind of project that lets you find your rhythm. Front and back are worked separately from the bottom up, with ribbing at the hem, armholes and neckline giving the simple shape a neat finish.

The pattern comes in five sizes, S to XXL, to fit bust measurements from 82 to 127cm, and is free to download via scheepjes.com.
