Oldtimer slipover

An oversized boxy vest with a traditional two colored pattern, boat neck, splitted hem and a small sleeve., Wear it over a shirt, over or under a leather jacket, or for cozy comfort. It comes in two sizes. But its possible to make it larger or smaller with another chosen gauge. The construction is top-down with a European shoulder. First, the back is knitted down to the armhole. Then sts. are picked up for the left and right shoulders. These two shoulder pieces are joined to form the front piece, which is knitted down to the armhole. The side panels established continue under the sleeves and are kept free of the strandedpattern. When the relatively long 2x2 ribbing is added, the panel splits into a divided rib, where the back rib can optionally be knitted longer than the front rib. The pattern is knitted according to the chart throughout. Waist shaping can be added to slightly taper the fit. Sts. are picked up for the sleeve – and a 2x2 rib is knitted at the neckline.
