Cardamom Slipover - English

Construction:
The slipover is worked from the top down. First, stitches are cast on and increases are made on both the right and wrong side while working flat to create a contiguous shoulder.
Increases are then made to shape the edge of the neck. The two front-pieces are joined to form the front of the slipover. The slipover is briefly worked in the round, before being divided into a front- and backpiece, which are worked separately. While working flat increases are made on the back- and front pieces to shape the armholes. The front- and back-piece are joined, and the body is worked in the round. The body is finished with a twisted rib edge.
Lastly, stitches are picked up along the neckline, as well as along the two armholes and twisted rib edges are worked.

Before choosing which size to knit, we recommend that you measure your bust circumference (or circumference at the widest area) and add a positive ease of around 17-25 cm.
Example: if your circumference at the widest area is 90 cm we recommend knitting a size S, which will have a positive ease of 17 cm or a size M, which will have a positive ease of 24 cm.
