The Design
“A slipover for sunny days.”
This style is so versatile, we all wanted different lengths—cropped, hip, tunic, and dress lengths. Or any length you’d like! It’s quite simple to customize your Slipover—for your personal style or body type, as a long layer with side vents or as a short topper over a tee, to be dressed up or down.
We knit this cute version in Lang —an excellent choice for warm, sunny days! Lightweight, crisp in hand, and with a palette of soft, fresh colors, this DK-weight yarn is composed entirely of nice, supple linen with a gently rustic finish. Promising to define stitches beautifully and soften with every wear and wash, Crealino is just the right yarn for a cool, airy slipover.
