Stockholm Slipover V-neck – English

Stockholm Slipover V-neck is a stylish and timeless knitted vest designed by PetiteKnit. This English-language knitting pattern features a flattering V-shaped neckline and a classic silhouette, making it a versatile layering piece for every season. The slipover is knitted from the top down, allowing you to easily adjust the length to your preference.

Construction

The Stockholm Slipover V-neck is worked from the top down. First, the back part of the yoke is knitted, then the front shoulders, and finally the body. The slipover has slanting shoulders for an excellent fit, shaped using short rows. Rib edges are worked along the neckline and armholes, and all edges are finished neatly with an Italian bind-off.

Before beginning, knit a gauge swatch to ensure the correct gauge – achieving the right stitch count is essential for the intended shoulder fit and overall proportions.
