The Juniper Slipover is part of Woodland Knitting Patterns for Little Ones, an e-book inspired by simple textures found in nature.

The Juniper Slipover is worked bottom-up. Body is knit in the round, then divided for back and front – which are knit flat (back and forth), one at a time, and united at shoulders using the 3-Needle Bind-Off Method. Stitches for armhole opening and neckband are picked up after the body is complete.
