Sleek Slipover DK

The Sleek Slipover DK is a simple vest worked from the top down. This is the DK version of the Sleek Slipover knit in bulky weight yarn. This elegant design blending modern and classic features the wide opened armholes in ribbing echoing with a ribbed hem. After the collar worked in the round, the neckline is shaped with short rows, then the back and front are worked separately to form the wide arm opening. The armhole ribs are then added before the hem is worked again in the round. **Sizes** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) (7, 8, 9, 10) **Finished Measurements** 88.5 (93.5, 98.5, 105.5, 111, 119.5) (135.5, 142, 156, 159.5) cm [34 ¾ (36 ¾, 38 ¾, 41 ½, 43 ½, 47) (53 ¼, 56, 61 ½, 62 ¾”] bust circumference 53 (53.5, 54.5, 56, 58.5, 61.5) (64, 65.5, 68.5, 69.4) cm [20 ¾ (21, 21 ½, 22, 23 ¼, 24 ¼) (25 ¼, 25 ¾, 27, 27 ½”] total length (excl. collar) **Needles** 4 mm [US 6] 60 cm [24”] circular and 3.5 mm [US 4] 60 cm [24”] circular needles **Gauge** 23 stitches × 28 rows = 10 x 10cm [4” x 4”] in stockinette stitch on 4 mm [US 6] needle (after wet blocking) **Yarn** TOV DK by Woolfolk (146 m [160 yards] / 50 g) 240 (250, 260, 280, 300, 330) (360, 380, 410, 430) g, 5 (5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7) (8, 8, 9, 9) skeins, 700 (730, 760, 818, 876, 964) (1051, 1110, 1197, 1256) m [768 (800, 832, 896, 960, 1056) (1152, 1216, 1312, 1376) yards **Notions** stitch markers, removable markers, stitch holders or waste yarn, and tapestry needle **Size Guide** This slipover is designed to be worn with 5-30 cm [2-11 ¾”] positive ease.
