Instructions Petite Knit Weekend Slipover V-Neck

Printed pattern - by mail

The Weekend Slipover V-neck is worked from the top down. First, the upper back is worked flat, with the shoulders shaped using short rows. Then, the fronts are worked, shaping the V-neck simultaneously. Afterward, the front and back pieces are joined on a circular needle for the body, which is worked in the round. The ribbed edgings at the neck and armholes are worked last, with the latter being worked with decreases.
