Friday Slipover V-NECK Pattern

This pattern is in English and in print format only.

Friday Slipover V-neck is worked from the top down in broken rib. First the back of the yoke is worked, then the shoulders, then the front of the yoke and finally the body. Rib edges are worked along the V-neck and along the armholes. The neck edge is worked with decorative decreases mid front.

Knit a swatch before beginning the project to check if the recommended needle size gives you the correct gauge. Note, that broken rib stretches when washed and with wear. The gauge you can expect to have before wash/wear is approx. 24-25 sts pr. 10 cm [4 inches], which after wash/wear will grow to the correct gauge of 22 sts pr. 10 cm [4 inches]. The most important element in achieving the correct shoulder width and fit is knitting at the correct gauge, so be sure to wash your swatch before measuring the gauge.
