A lacy slipover for year-round wear , perfect on its own, over a long-sleeve shirt or layered with a simple T-shirt. Designed with breathable cotton yarn, to be your partner in crime every season.
The iconic slipover is knitted bottom up in the round seamlessly, working the lace pattern and joined on the shoulders. Then the front and back parts are worked separately for the armholes. The neckline and little armhole sleeves are knitted at the end for a polished look.
Please note that to maintain the design’s integrity across all sizes, the lace pattern is carefully adjusted proportionally to scale. This also has an impact on the neckline, for larger sizes, the neckline might appear not as round-neck as for smaller sizes but a tad more oval, the difference is minimal but wanted to make you aware of it.

The pattern was designed with an average ease of 25 cm. For selecting your size, measure your bust width, add the 25 cm and then, choose the size that is closer to that number.
