Pattern overview

The back piece is made first. Then, stitches are picked up for the shoulders. These are worked separately before they are connected and worked back and forth. Afterwards, the front piece and the back piece are connected and the rest of the body is worked in the round and finished with ribbing at the bottom of the slipover. Ribbing is also added to the armholes and the neckline.

Increases are worked at the ribbing in the neckline to create a neat V-neck and the ribbing has cool details in a contrast color.
