Holiday Sleeveless Sweater Junior

The Holiday Slipover Junior is a chunky knit slipover with a deep armhole, worked flat from the top down. First, the back is worked, then the shoulders and front, and finally the body. At the bottom of the body, a two-part rib trim is knitted, with the back edge longer than the front. Finally, ribbed edgings are knitted along the neckline and around the armholes, which are bound off using the Italian method for the neatest result.

First, knit a gauge swatch before you begin knitting. Note that you will be knitting with 3 strands simultaneously (2 strands of the thicker yarn, 1 strand of silk mohair).
