Méribel or Meribel

This is a pattern for a slip-over/tank/vest worked from the bottom up and in the round with steeks (over the armscyes and front neck).

This pattern is intended for more advanced knitters comfortable working from a pattern repeat chart. You will need to be able to work pattern repeat chart with shaping. The repeat pattern chart is shown in colour and with symbols. There are also written and charted guides (no pattern repeat shown) for armscye and neck shaping/decreases for each size. So please review the pattern, if you are printing, and select pages you need.

Please see schematic for approximate finished sizes to choose size.

As with all my patterns, feel free to use techniques you prefer or make changes need for best fit.
