Iris Slipover Gotland Grey

Iris Slipover is a rib stitch slipover with a v-neck and it is knitted top down. The upper part of the back piece is knitted before stitches are picked up from each side to make the shoulder and neckline. Eventually the stitches from the front and back pieces are joined and the rest of the vest is knitted in the round on the same needles. Knit a gauge swatch before starting to ensure the gauge is correct. The slipover should have a “positive ease” of around 10-15 cm.
