The Novice Slipover Man is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. First the back yoke is worked, and then stitches are picked up and knitted along the cast-on edge of the back yoke for the shoulders, which are worked and then joined together to form the front yoke. The back and front yoke are joined at the underarm to form the body, which is worked in the round on a circular needle. Rib edges are worked along the armholes and the neck edge at the end. There are help videos of all the steps in the pattern on this page.

Published Thursday, 12 September 20245 out of 5I bought some specialty eyelash yarn to knit my granddaughter a fluffy jacket for next winter. I needed a plain double knit yarn to match and the Sandnes Garn I bought was a perfect match and a lovely, soft, machine washable wool yarn.
