The Easy Snowman Slipover is a christmassy slipover worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. The slipover has a lovely sloping shoulder, which helps to ensure a great fit. The simple two-colour pattern is worked exclusively whilst knitting in the round, making the slipover an ideal project if you would like to learn how to knit with two colours.
