On My Radio slipover
Design Inspiration I like slipovers and vests especially when I’m crafting. They leave your arms free to sew, do
pottery, or bake a cake all while keeping you toasty warm. This slipover is great for layering over a sweater to wear
outside instead of a jacket, or underneath one. It’s perfect when it’s just cold enough to need a layer more, but still so
warm that a sweater would be too much. The broken rib pattern is easy and fun to knit. In addition to the contrasting
colors it creates a strong impression.

Construction The slipover is worked top down in a simple slip stitch pattern (broken rib). After working a funnel neck
in the round the back is worked in rows. Shoulders are shaped using short rows. At the end of the armholes, a few
stitches are added in the width, and the colors of the pattern are changed. Then the rest of the back is worked.
The front is worked in the same manner as the back. To shape the neck, stitches from the funnel neck are decreased.
The sides are seamed to enhance strength and shape.
