INFORMATION AND TIPS

Stitches are increased for pattern A and B in order to avoid that the work contracts. Those

The length of the slipover can be adjusted by working one repeat more or less of pattern B (all
24 rows) before the armhole.

FRONT PIECE
Ribbing
Using needle 3.5 mm (US 4) or the needle size you need to get the right gauge, co 118 (124) 128
(134) sts. Work broken rib until the ribbing measures 3 cm (1.2″).

BODY
On the last WS row, prepare the pattern as follows:
Edge st, p20 (22) 23 (25), place marker, p3, 1 p inc, p3, 1 p inc, p3, 1 p inc, p4 (= 16 sts), place
marker, p11 (12) 13 (14), place marker, repeat *p2, 1 p inc* 14 times (= 42 sts), place marker p11
(12) 13 (14), place marker, p3, 1 p inc, p3, 1 p inc, p3, 1 p inc, p4 (= 16 sts), place marker, p20 (22)
23 (25), edge st = 138 (144) 148 (154) sts.
Now work the front piece like this: Edge st, work stockinette stitch across 20 (22) 23 (25) sts (k on
RS, p on WS), work pattern A across 16 sts, work stockinette stitch across 11 (12) 13 (14) sts,
work pattern B across 42 sts, work stockinette stitch across 11 (12) 13 (14), work pattern A
across 16 sts, work stockinette stitch across 20 (22) 23 (25) sts, edge st.

This results in 20 (22) 23 (25) sts of stockinette stitch between pattern A and the edge st on each
side as well as 11 (12) 13 (14) sts of stockinette stitch between pattern A and B.

Work as described above until the work measures 32 (32) 39 (39) cm / 12.6 (12.6) 15.4 (15.4)″.
From here, sts are decreased for the armholes.

Armholes
Bo sts on every other row as follows: 5, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1 (5, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1) 5, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1 (5, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1)
st(s). Then work even until pattern B is worked a total of 5 (5) 6 (6) times. From here, the neck
opening is shaped.

Neck opening
On the last WS row before bo, the increased cable sts from the beginning are decreased.
On row 24 of pattern B, 6 sts are decreased (p2tog) evenly across the 12 middle sts.
On the next RS row, bo the 9 (10) 11 (11) middle sts, work to end and turn the work. From here,
each side is worked separately.

Right shoulder (when wearing the slipover)

Work the WS while decreasing (p2tog) 4 sts across the cable at the neck.

Now decrease for the neckline on every other row as follows: 4, 3, 2, 1 (4, 3, 2, 2, 1) 5, 3, 2, 1, 1
(5, 3, 2, 1, 1) sts.
Work even until the work measures 24 (24) 26 (26) cm / 9.4 (9.4) 10.2 (10.2)″ from the armhole.
Now decrease for the shoulder.

On the last 4 WS rows, decrease 3 sts evenly across pattern A.

From the sleeve, bo 8, 8, 7, 7 (8, 8, 7, 7) 9, 9, 8, 6 (9, 9, 8, 6) sts on every other row.

Left shoulder (when wearing the slipover)

Join the yarn on the WS. Work the left shoulder following the same procedure as for the
right shoulder.

BACK PIECE
Using needle 3.5 mm (US 4) or the needle size you need to get the right gauge, co 118 (124) 128
(134) sts. Work broken rib until the ribbing measures 3 cm (1.2″).
Work stockinette stitch until the work measures 39 cm / 15.4″.
From here, sts are decreased for the armholes.

All sizes
Bo sts on every other row as follows: 5, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1 (5, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1) 5, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1 (5, 3, 2, 2, 2,
1,1) sts. Then work even until the armholes measures 22 (22) 24 (24) cm / 8.7 (8.7) 9.4 (9.4)″.

Neck
On the next RS row, bo the 21 (22) 22 (22) middle sts, work to end and turn the work. From here,
each side is worked separately.

Right shoulder (when wearing the slipover)

All sizes
Now decrease for the neckline on every other row as follows: 2, 4 sts. Work even until the back
piece reaches the same length as the front piece.

Now decrease for the shoulder.

From the sleeve, bo 8, 7, 7, 7 (8, 8, 7, 7) 9, 8, 7, 7 (9, 8, 7, 7) sts on every other row.

SEAMING AND I-CORDS

I recommend that you wash and block both pieces before joining them in order to get the
best result. Sew the shoulder seams together with kitchener stitch and the side seams
together with mattress stitch.

Neckline
Using circular needle 3.5 mm (US 4) – 60 cm (24″), pick up sts along the neck opening. Pick
up 1 sts per st. Begin at the right shoulder.

I-cord
When you have reached the BOR, co 4 new sts using backward loop cast on. K 3 sts and k
the next st and the first st you picked up for the neckline tog tbl. There are now 4 sts on the
right-hand needle. Slip these 4 sts back onto the left-hand needle. *K3, k2tog tbl, slip 4 sts
back onto the left-hand needle; repeat from * until you have worked around the whole
neckline. Bo the 4 sts and sew them together with the 4 sts from the beginning.

SLEEVE I-CORDS
Using circular needle 3.5 mm (US 4) – 60 cm (24″), pick up sts along the armhole. Pick up 1
sts per st. In every fourth or fifth edge st, pick up 2 sts if necessary. Begin in the middle
below the sleeve.
Work an i-cord following the same procedure as for the neckline.

Weave in all ends. Congratulations – you have now finished your Tanjun Slipover!

Happy Crafting!
