Leyla Slipover

Whether as a slipover over blouses and t-shirts or as a top for the summer: “Leyla” is suitable for every season. Eyecatcher is the small waistband with it’s decorative button.

The slipover gets a little wider from the bottom up. The waistband is worked sideways first, then stitches are picked up from this waistband and the lower front and back are worked in rounds. From the beginning of the armholes, the work is divided and both parts are worked separately in rows. The neckline is crocheted with reversed single crochets and finally a decorative button is sewn onto the strap of the waistband. Even beginners can do this!

For this slipover I used a handdyed viscose DK-yarn (142 yds/50 g. You'll need approx 4 (5/5/5/6/6) skeins. Gauge: 26 sts and 31 rows = 4” [10 x 10 cm] in ribbing (k1, p1 in turn), after blocking
