Emsworth
Introducing the Emsworth Slipover, a beautifully designed knitting pattern that combines style and comfort. This classic slipover features an adorable lace and textured pattern panel at both the front and back, making it a perfect addition to any wardrobe. The pattern begins with the back shoulders, which are expertly cast on and joined once the neck shaping is complete. Next, the back is worked back and forth until you reach the underarm, ensuring a comfortable fit. After that, you’ll pick up the front shoulder stitches from the cast-on edge, working the front to match the back length precisely.
At the underarm, both the front and back pieces are joined together to create a seamless design that flows into rounds all the way down to the hem. Finally, the finishing touches for the neck and armholes are added at the end, giving your slipover a polished look. This versatile pattern is suitable for knitters of all skill levels looking to create a timeless piece that can be dressed up or down.
The original yarn used in this pattern is Mominoki German Merino Light, renowned for its quality and comfort. Below, you'll find suggested yarn alternatives for your knitting project.
The Emsworth Slipover requires approximately:
684 (743, 811, 869, 953)(1037, 1121, 1207, 1300) yards (625 (679, 741, 794, 871)(948, 1025, 1103, 1188) meters) of yarn, making it an efficient yet exciting project for your knitting repertoire.
To achieve the best results, note that the gauge is 24 stitches x 36 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) square in Stockinette stitch using a larger needle after blocking. The width of the lace pattern panel measures 6.25 inches (16 cm) after blocking, ensuring a delicate and flattering silhouette.
For those considering the fit, we suggest incorporating 0-2 inches (0-5 cm) of ease for optimal comfort and style. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting your knitting journey, the Emsworth Slipover pattern is a delightful project that will enhance your crafting skills while creating a stylish garment.
