Flocon Slipover

Flocon - snowflake in French - Slipover is a simple vest with a subtle pattern created by Ridged slip stitch. It looks to me like snowflakes shining in the twilight, scenery I used to see in my childhood. Please work the vest in your favorite color and draw your favorite view. The back of the vest is knit first with increases, then the front stitches are picked up separately along each shoulder, then joined after the neck slope shaping. The back and front are joined at the underarms to be knit in the round to the hem with Ridged slip stitch. **Sizes** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7) **Finished Measurements** 105 (110, 115, 122.5, 130) (140, 150) cm 41.25 (43 1⁄4, 45 1⁄4, 48 1⁄4, 51 1⁄4) (55, 59)” bust circumference 48.5 (50.5, 53.5, 55.5, 58.5) (62.5, 66.5) cm 19 (20, 21, 21 3⁄4, 23) (24 1⁄2, 26 1⁄2)” total length (excl. collar) **Needles** 5.5 mm [US 9] 60 cm [24”] circular, 4.5 mm [US 7] 60 cm [24”] circular and 40 cm [16”] circular needles **Gauge** 16 sts and 22 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4” x 4”] in stockinette stitch with 5.5 mm [US 9] needle (after wet blocking) **Yarn** Two yarns (sport weight and lace weight) are held together. ●Ulysse by De Rerum Natura / col. goéland (185 m (202 yard) / 50g) 555 (592, 629, 666, 703) (740, 814) m 606 (646, 687, 727, 768) (808, 889) yards 150 (160, 170, 180, 190) (200, 220) g / 3 (4, 4, 4, 4) (4-5, 5) skeins ●Bérénice by De Rerum Natura / col. crépuscule (210 m (230 yard) / 25g) 520 (546, 571, 613, 630) (697, 747) m 570 (598, 626, 672, 690) (743, 819) yards 62 (65, 68, 73, 77) (83, 89) g / 3 (3, 3, 3, 4) (4, 4) skeins **Notions** stitch markers, removable markers, stitch holders or waste yarn and tapestry needle **Size Guide** This slipover is designed to be worn with 10 - 30 cm (4 – 11 3⁄4”) positive ease.
