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 Friday, 14 June 20245 out of 5This is the first time I have used this wool and I am finding it absolutely beautiful to knit with. It is lovely and soft but firm enough to hold a pattern well such as cables and lace. I'll definitely be using Sandnes Garn Peet Gynt again as the colours are also great.
