CONSTRUCTION This slipover is worked top-down, beginning flat from the back neck in 2 x 1 Rib and cables while shaping the shoulders using European shoulder shaping. Increases are worked toward the underarm to form the armholes, after which the back stitches are placed on hold and the front panels are worked, including neckline shaping. The fronts are then joined and worked flat to the underarm before being joined with the back to work the body in the round, continuing the textured pattern and cables. The slipover is finished with a twisted-rib hem and i-cord edges at the neckline and armholes.
