PetiteKnit Lulu Slipover knitting pattern

The PetiteKnit Lulu Slipover pattern is an A5-sized high-quality print magazine. The pattern is available in both English and Finnish .

The pattern uses Sandnes Garn's Peer Gynt and Tynn Silk Mohair yarns.

Alternatively, you can replace Peer Gynt yarn with Järbon Select no 6 yarn and Tynn Silk Mohair yarn with Kremke Soul Wool's Silky Kid yarn.

The Lulu Slipover is knitted from the top down. The vest has high armholes and two buttons on each side. First the back piece is knitted and then the front piece. The armhole edges are knitted in rib and the side edges in garter stitch. A slit is formed in the sides. Two buttonholes are made in the garter stitch edges of the front piece. Finally, the collar is knitted in rib.

There are instructional videos for the techniques needed in the pattern on its product page at www.petiteknit.com.

Size selection guide

The vest has about 20 cm of allowance in the smaller sizes and gradually less in the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to correspond to a bust circumference of 75–80 (80–85) 85–90 (90–95) 95–100 (100–110) 110–120 (120–130) 130–140 (140–150) cm. The measurements of the finished vest are given on the front page of the pattern. Measure yourself before starting work so that you can choose the right size. Example: if your bust circumference (or the widest part of your upper body) is 90 cm, choose size S. The bust circumference of a size S vest is 109 cm, so in this case there would be 19 cm of allowance.
