Pattern Overview
- Skill Level: 2 out of 5 (Advanced Beginner)
- Size Range: XS to 5XL
- Construction: This slipover is worked seamlessly from the top down. You begin by knitting the back yoke flat while regular shoulder increases shape the slope. Stitches are then picked up along the cast-on edges to form each shoulder panel separately before joining them to create the front yoke. The front and back yokes link under the arms to form the main body, which is worked smoothly in the round down to a deep ribbed hem. Thick ribbed bands are picked up and worked last to complete the neckline and armholes.
Sizing & Fit Guide
The Weekend Slipover is designed to have a beautifully relaxed, modern look with approximately 13 to 17 cm of positive ease. To select your best size, measure your bust around the widest part and match your body measurement to the chart below.

Total length is measured down the middle of the back, excluding the finished neck edge.
Gauge & Suggested Tools
- Gauge: 15 sts x 20 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette stitch on 5.5 mm needles after washing and blocking.
- Suggested Needles: 5.5 mm circular needles (lengths: 40 cm and 80 or 100 cm) and 5 mm circular needles (lengths: 40 cm and 80 or 100 cm).
Yarn Requirements
The wonderfully thick, plush texture of this vest is achieved by holding one strand of a heavy worsted or bulky weight yarn base together with one strand of a lace-weight silk mohair throughout the entire project. Alternatively, you can achieve the target gauge by holding two strands of a lighter weight yarn together with silk mohair.
Always check your pattern details or chosen ball bands to confirm total yardage, and make sure to purchase complete balls.

|---|---|---|
| XS | Approximately 450 m | Approximately 424 m |
| S | Approximately 450–600 m | Approximately 424 m |
| M | Approximately 600 m | Approximately 424–636 m |
| L | Approximately 600 m | Approximately 636 m |
| XL | Approximately 600–750 m | Approximately 636 m |

Note: Stated yardages represent estimated allowances. Be sure to purchase a little extra to account for personal gauge variations or if you plan to add extra length to the body.
Crucial Swatching Tip
Do not skip making a stockinette gauge swatch, and make sure to wash and block it before casting on your slipover. Chunky yarn weights combined with delicate silk mohair bloom and stretch significantly after a wash. Checking your stitch count post-wash ensures your vest achieves the intended cozy drape without growing oversized or ending up too restrictive around the underarms.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this slipover worked entirely in the round?
No, it utilizes a hybrid construction. The vest begins flat while shaping the upper back and front yoke sections separately to establish comfortable armhole openings. Once the underarms are reached, the panels are joined together on a single circular needle to complete the rest of the body in the round. -
Can I use a single strand of yarn instead of holding two together?
Yes! While holding a thick base yarn together with a strand of silk mohair creates a gorgeous marled color effect and a luxury halo texture, you can absolutely substitute a single strand of a robust bulky weight yarn. Just ensure your chosen alternative achieves the target 15-stitch gauge on your preferred fabric density. -
Are there any side seams to stitch up at the end?
None at all. The top-down construction allows the shoulder panels to flow right into the circular body. Once you finish working your final ribbed borders on the neckline and armholes, your only finishing tasks are weaving in your loose yarn tails.
