Vestpaa

The slipover is worked top-down and has a narrow neck and a deep V-neck. The rib in the armholes is worked as small sleeve-caps with short rows.
All rib edges are worked with significantly smaller needles than the body of the slipover/summer top.
Several options to work the Hem and the sleeve-caps are included in the instructions.

Vestpaa is meant to have a positive ease at bust circumference of approx 10-15cm/4-6” for wearing as a summer top and 15-20cm/6-8” positive ease for a layering garment/slipover.

Bust circumference:
99.5 (110, 118.5, 134, 145) cm/39.25 (43.25, 46.5, 52.75, 57)”

Gauge
21 sts x 28 rows over 10cm x 10cm/4” x 4” with 4.0mm/US 6 needles in Stockinette stitch after wet blocking.
Note! The row gauge in Stockinette stitch is crucial for working the correct length of the Front.

Yarn
The coral-colored sample: 3 (3, 4, 4, 5) skeins of Allora, Lana Grossa, sport weight, 76% cotton, 14% Merino Virgin Wool, 10% alpaca, 300m/328yd per 50g/1.76oz

Please keep in mind that yardage is an estimate.

Yarn alternatives: Use a yarn that “blossoms” when washed so it is possible to achieve the right gauge with two needle sizes e.g., Sky from Drops Design, Tvinni from Isager Yarn, Supersoft from Holst Garn
