The Sille Slipover is worked from the top down in a knit and purl structure pattern. First, the back yoke is worked, then the shoulders, and then the front yoke are worked flat. After this, the front and back yoke are joined and the body is worked in the round, and finally rib edges are worked along the neck and armhole openings.

Size guide: The Sille slipover is designed to have approx. 6-10 cm of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 6-10 cm larger in circumference than your bust measurement. 

We have created a handy size chart above to help you work out your recommended size to knit.
