Ida - Slipover

Introducing the “Ida” Oversized Slipover – a stunningly beautiful and easy-to-wear knitted cape that will keep you warm and stylish! This versatile slipover is designed to wrap comfortably around your body and neck, making it an excellent addition to your fall and winter wardrobe. The “Ida” is uniquely crafted in one continuous piece, starting from the bottom and knitted in rounds. After reaching the armholes, simply split the piece and continue knitting in rows for a seamless finish.

The lower section of the “Ida” features exquisite cable patterns that require some concentration, offering a rewarding challenge for knitters. Once you conquer the intricate cables, the rest of the slipover can be completed quickly, thanks to the simple k2, p2 ribbing. This balance of complexity and simplicity makes it an ideal project for both seasoned knitters and beginners looking to hone their skills.

Materials Required: For this beautiful slipover, you will need approximately 890 to 1020 yards of DK yarn, depending on your chosen size. Be sure to have US 6 (4.0 mm) circular needles in various lengths for optimal comfort and ease of knitting. Additionally, gather 4 stitch markers, a stitch holder, and a cable needle to complete your project seamlessly.

Gauge Information: Achieve the perfect fit by maintaining a gauge of 20 stitches and 26 rows in k2, p2 ribbing, which translates to a 4” (10 x 10 cm) square after washing and blocking. This attention to detail will ensure your “Ida” slipover looks professional and fits beautifully.
