Laurel Slipover by Quail Studio

What is Being Made

The Laurel Slipover is a knitted sleeveless pullover garment designed by Quail Studio. This pattern creates a fitted vest-style top available in nine sizes, with finished bust measurements ranging from 71–76 cm up to 152–157 cm, accommodating a wide range of body sizes from extra small through to extra large.

Craft and Primary Technique

This is a knitting project classified as intermediate difficulty. The slipover is constructed using flat knitting techniques, with separate front and back pieces that are worked individually and later assembled. The garment features a shaped neckline with progressive decreases to create a refined finish at the neck opening.

Stitches and Shaping Methods Used

The pattern employs fundamental knitting stitches and strategic shaping techniques to achieve the garment's fitted silhouette:

• Stockinette stitch forms the primary fabric structure throughout the front and back panels
• Decreases are worked at the neckline opening to shape the neck edge, with decreases repeated at regular intervals: one stitch decreased in each of the next 4 rows, followed by multiple decreases spaced across every 2 rows and every 4 rows to gradually taper the neckline
• A ribbed neckband is applied using picked-up stitches from the neckline opening, creating a finished, professional edge
• Bind-off techniques secure the finished edges

Materials: Yarn and Needles

The Laurel Slipover is designed to be worked in Rowan Pure Cashmere, a luxury natural fiber yarn. The pattern calls for DK weight yarn (50 g balls). The downloadable PDF pattern specifies the required needle size and yardage for each size, though exact needle specifications are detailed within the full pattern document. The sample shown in the photography was worked in the colorway Chalk 094.
