Lulu slipover – chunky edition

Lulu slipover – chunky edition is knitted from the top down. The slipover has a deep armhole and closes at the sides with two buttons. First knit the back and then the front piece. Ribbed edges are knitted along the sleeve opening, and double-knitted edges are knitted along the sides, which form a slit downwards. In the front of these double-knit edges, knit two buttonholes. The turtleneck of the neck is finally knitted in rib from the gathered stitches.

Size guide

Lulu slipover – chunky edition should have room to move (positive ease) of approx. 25-30 cm in the smallest sizes but gradually smaller in the larger sizes.
The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a chest measurement of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm.
The dimensions of the finished slipover are indicated on the front of the recipe. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. If, for example, you measure 90 cm around the chest (or the widest part of the body), you should knit a size S. A slipover in size S has an excess width of 116 cm and, in the example mentioned, will provide room for movement (positive ease) of 26 cm.
