Thea slipover is an oversized and cozy vest with wide stribes in two colors. It is worked top-down on 10 mm needles with 2 strands of Drops Melody, creating a lovely chunky look that feels like wearing a big hug.

Pattern overview
The back piece is made first. Then, stitches are picked up for the shoulders. These are worked separately before they are connected and worked back and forth. Afterwards, the front piece and the back piece are connected and the rest of the body is worked in the round and finished with ribbing at the bottom of the slipover. Ribbing is also added to the armholes and the neckline.

Knitting gauge
Thea slipover has a gauge of 10x10 cm on 9 sts x 12 r on 10 mm needles in stockinette stitch before washing.

Washing instructions
If you are using the recommended yarn, be aware that it changes appearance after washing. It is advised to knit a swatch and wash it first, so you can see if you like the texture the yarn takes on after washing. The stated gauge is measured before washing.
