The Design
“Slip on for sunny days.”
This cute, sleeveless top is so versatile, our wardrobes are full of different versions! We’ve made them at cropped, hip, tunic, and dress lengths—or any length between! It’s quite simple to customize your own Slipover for your personal style and fit. Knit it as a long layer with side vents, as a cute crop top (as we did this time!). Then, wear it on its own, layer it over a tee or under a denim jacket—or even over or under another Slipover!
We knit this Sleeveless Slipover using Isager Palet, a cleverly crafted cotton ribbon. This fingering-weight yarn has a flattened, chainette-style strand. It brings an interesting texture, airy breathability, and light touch to this hand-knit top!
