Sleek Slipover DK

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

The Sleek Slipover DK is a simple vest worked from the top down. This is the DK version of the Sleek Slipover knit in bulky weight yarn. This elegant design blending modern and classic features the wide opened armholes in ribbing echoing with a ribbed hem. After the collar worked in the round, the neckline is shaped with short rows, then the back and front are worked separately to form the wide arm opening. The armhole ribs are then added before the hem is worked again in the round.

This pattern has been technically edited and test knitted.
