Pattern Overview
- Skill Level: 3 out of 5 (Intermediate)
- Size Range: XS to 5XL
- Construction: This slipover is worked seamlessly from the top down. You begin by working the back yoke flat, using short rows to shape the shoulder slopes. Next, stitches are picked up to work each shoulder separately before joining them to form the front yoke. The front and back sections are united at the underarms to complete the body in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neck opening and armholes to complete the clean, classic ribbed edgings.

Gauge & Suggested Tools
- Gauge: 22 sts x 34 rows = 10 x 10 cm in broken rib pattern on 4 mm needles after washing and blocking.
- Suggested Needles: 4 mm circular needles (lengths: 60 and 80 or 100 cm), 3.5 mm circular needles (lengths: 40 and 80 or 100 cm).
Yarn Requirements
The signature bouncy, soft texture of this vest is achieved by holding one strand of a fingering weight yarn together with one strand of a lace-weight silk mohair throughout the entire project.
Always check your pattern envelope or ball band details for specific yardage, and make sure to buy complete yarn balls while adding a little extra to account for personal gauge variations.
Crucial Swatching Tip
Do not skip making a gauge swatch in the specified broken rib pattern, and make sure to wash and block it before taking your measurements. Textured stitch combinations can stretch or settle dramatically after blocking. Swatching post-wash guarantees that your stitches hit the required 22-stitch gauge so your slipover hits the exact intended dimensions across your shoulders and chest.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What exactly is a broken rib pattern?
Broken rib is a simple, rhythmic textured stitch that alternates rows of regular ribbing with rows of plain knit stitches. It gives the fabric a beautiful, textured, waffle-like grid appearance that has fantastic elasticity while holding its shape beautifully over time. -
Is there any sewing or seaming required?
None at all! The Friday Slipover is completely seamless. The clever top-down construction combined with picking up stitches directly from the fabric for the neckband and armhole ribbing means you can leave your sewing needles away. Your only finishing work is weaving in your yarn tails. -
Can I adjust the length of the body?
Absolutely. Because the slipover is knit from the top down, you can slide your live stitches onto scrap yarn at any stage to try it on and decide exactly where you want your hem to sit. Just keep in mind that you may need a little extra yarn if you plan to extend the length!
