Knitting a simple white slipover is like opening a fresh page in your notebook, full of possibilities and ready for new thoughts and ideas. With deep ribbed sides and soft shaping, Signe balances structure and ease in one harmonious layer.

The Signe slipover is worked in pieces from the top down. The underarm sections feature deep ribbing that flows seamlessly into the hem, creating a flattering silhouette and a flexible fit.
