This is a printed pattern in Swedish.
The Novice Slipover is worked top down in stockinette stitch. First the back piece is worked, then stitches are picked up in the cast-on edge of the back piece to form shoulders, which are later joined at the front to work the front piece.
The back and front pieces are then joined under the armhole to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles. Finally, rib edges are knitted along the neckline and armholes. There are instructional videos for all steps in the pattern.
Size guide
Novice Slipover should have a range of motion ( positive ease) of approx. 17 cm in relation to your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S which has an upper width of 107 cm. This will give a range of movement ( positive ease) of 17 cm in the aforementioned example.
