The Easy Santa Slipover is a Christmas slipover worked in a stockinette stitch. The slipover is worked from the top down. The simple bi-colour pattern is only worked in the round. This project is the perfect opportunity to learn how to work with two colours at the same time.

The description of the folded neckline is not part of the pattern, but something that test knitters have added. But we have videos showing how to do this on our YouTube channel.
