Friday Slipover
The Friday Slipover is a timeless top-down knit worked in broken rib, offering a relaxed silhouette with approximately 6 cm [2¼ inches] of positive ease. This intermediate pattern features a thoughtful construction: the back yoke is worked first, followed by the shoulders, front yoke, and body, with elegant rib edges finishing the neck and armholes.
Construction & Fit
Designed to fit bust circumferences from 80–150 cm [31½–59 inches] across nine sizes (XS through 5XL), this slipover is engineered for comfort and wearability. The broken rib stitch pattern stretches beautifully with wash and wear, evolving from an initial gauge of 24–25 sts per 10 cm to the final gauge of 22 sts per 10 cm. Washing and blocking your swatch before beginning is essential to achieve the correct shoulder width and overall fit.
