mellow slipover from wieseknit
mellow slipover is an elegant and feminine slipover that can be used both for everyday life and for parties. With its sleeve frills that are discreetly wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, it gives nice room and space for the arm, where the frill is thus not "in the way" in the armhole. There are small, fun and fine details hidden throughout the recipe. It helps to give the slipover a fit that is both neat and pleasant, and which also gives the design an expression that is both elegant, light and feminine.

The upper part of the back piece is knitted first. Then pick up sts at the top of the back piece for the front piece at each shoulder. After increasing and decreasing for the neck, knit a piece in stockinette stitch, which is then knitted stocking stitch with the back piece, after which the body is completed. When the body is finished, pick up stitches in both armholes and with the help of double crochets, create a frill in each armhole which is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top.

In the recipe you will find links to videos of techniques used.

Always remember to follow the number of stitches indicated for the size you are knitting, subject to the number of stitches shown in the video.

Fit
The slipover is recommended to have the following excess width
XS (S) M (L) 5-10 cm

XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) -16 cm across and 0 cm around waist/stomach

For the last 4 sizes, the fit is created on the basis that the slipover must have 0 cm of room for movement around the waist/stomach, while it has a negative ease of - 16 cm over the chest. The reason for this is that the armhole contributes some extra cm, even though the stitch count is less
