Trelles seems like a basic slipover, but the textured stitch pattern creates an elegant garment with a lot of personality. It was named after the town where Inés García Suárez’ grandmother was born.

CONSTRUCTION
This slipover is worked seamlessly from the top down in Broken Slip Stitch pattern. First, you cast on at the back neck and increase for the shoulders to the full width of the back, then shape the armholes. The front stitches are picked up from the shoulder lines, and the fronts are worked separately while the neckline and armholes are shaped. The front and back are then joined. The body is worked in the round and finished with a 1 x 1 Rib hem. The neckband and the armhole stitches are picked up from the body and finished with a 1 x 1 Rib.
