Stockholm Slipover V-neck

The Stockholm Slipover V-neck has a V-shaped neckline and is worked from the top down. First, the back part of the yoke is worked, then the front shoulders and finally the body. The Stockholm Slipover V-neck has slanting shoulders that create a good fit and which are shaped using short rows. Rib edges are worked along the V-neck edge and armhole edges, and the edges are finished with an Italian bind-off. Begin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge – it is important for the shoulder width of the design that the correct gauge is achieved. **Size guide** The Stockholm Slipover V-neck is designed to have approx. 5 cm \[2 inches\] of positive ease. Sizes XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X) are intended for a bust circumference of approx. 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm \[31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 inches\].
