Lulu Slipover Class

Lulu Slipover Class

This is a 4 session course, 2 hours each session.
Experience:
The pattern requires that you are an advanced beginner/experienced knitter and can keep an overview of a pattern. You may need to keep track of multiple elements at the same time. 

 

The Lulu Slipover is worked from the top down. The slipover has a deep armhole and is closed with two buttons along both sides. First, the back is worked and then the front. Ribbing edges are worked along the armholes, and along the sides, which form slits towards the hem, double knitted edges are worked. Two buttonholes are worked along the front part of these double knitted edges. At the end, a ribbing edge is worked along the neck opening.

Size guide
The Lulu Slipover is designed to have approx. 20 cm 8 inches of positive ease in the smaller sizes and then gradually less positive ease in the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS, S, M, L, 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches]. The measurements for the finished slipover are listed on the front page of the pattern. Measure yourself before starting your project, to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S slipover has a bust circumference of 109 cm [43 inches], which in the given example would give you 19 cm [7½ inches] of positive ease.
