Flocon Slipover

Purchase on Ravelry

All patterns are available for purchase through Ravelry. Please visit the Ravelry page for details.

Flocon - snowflake in French - Slipover is a simple vest with a subtle pattern created by Ridged slip stitch. It looks to me like snowflakes shining in the twilight, scenery I used to see in my childhood. Please work the vest in your favorite color and draw your favorite view. The back of the vest is knit first with increases, then the front stitches are picked up separately along each shoulder, then joined after the neck slope shaping. The back and front are joined at the underarms to be knit in the round to the hem with Ridged slip stitch.

This pattern has been technically edited and test knitted.
