Effortless, cozy, and endlessly versatile—meet the Weekend Slipover V-neck!
Worked seamlessly from the top down, this timeless knitted vest is the ultimate layering piece for crisp mornings and relaxed weekends. You will begin by working the back yoke flat with short rows to shape the shoulder slope, then work each front separately with neat increases to form the classic V-neckline. Once the front and back yokes are joined, the body is worked seamlessly in the round down to the hem, followed by crisp ribbed edges along the neckline and armholes.
Please note: This is a knitting pattern written in English. Yarn, needles, and extra materials must be purchased separately.
Pattern Overview
- Skill Level: 3 out of 5 stars (Intermediate)
- Construction: Worked seamlessly from the top down. After shaping the back yoke with short rows and working the V-neck fronts separately, the pieces are joined to work the body in the round. Ribbed trims are picked up and knitted along the V-neck and armholes at the end.
Sizing & Fit Guide
The Weekend Slipover V-neck is designed with approximately 15–20 cm of positive ease, meaning the finished garment is intended to be 15–20 cm larger in circumference than your actual bust measurement.
To choose your size, measure yourself around your bust (or the widest part of your upper body) before starting. For example, if you measure 90 cm around your bust, you should knit a size S. A size S slipover has a finished bust circumference of 108 cm, giving you 18 cm of positive ease.

|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 80–85 cm | 105 cm | 58 cm |
| S | 85–90 cm | 108 cm | 59 cm |
| M | 90–95 cm | 113 cm | 60 cm |
| L | 95–100 cm | 116 cm | 61 cm |

Before You Cast On
We highly recommend knitting a gauge swatch with both strands held together, then washing and blocking it before taking your measurements. This allows you to confirm which needle size gives you the exact stitch and row gauge required for the finished measurements. Always purchase complete yarn balls and consider picking up an extra ball to account for swatching or any body length adjustments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Weekend Slipover V-neck worked in separate pieces?
No. This slipover is knitted seamlessly from the top down. You work the upper back and V-neck fronts flat on circular needles, join them under the armholes to knit the body in the round, and pick up stitches directly along the V-neck and armholes to finish the ribbed trims.

How should the Weekend Slipover V-neck fit?
It is designed with approximately 15–20 cm of positive ease for a relaxed, boxy layering fit that sits comfortably over shirts, blouses, and long-sleeve tops. Measure the widest part of your upper body and compare it to the size chart to choose your size, or size down if you prefer a closer fit.

How many strands of yarn are used in this pattern?
This pattern is worked by holding two strands together throughout: one strand of worsted/aran-weight wool (approx. 200 m per 100 g) paired with one strand of lace-weight silk mohair (approx. 210–225 m per 25 g). Holding these two yarns together creates a plush, structured fabric with a soft halo that knits up quickly on 5.5 mm needles.

Why is my gauge swatch so important for this slipover?
Because you are knitting at a relatively chunky gauge (15 stitches x 20 rows per 10 x 10 cm) with two strands held together, even half a stitch difference per 10 cm can noticeably affect the chest width and armhole depth. Washing and blocking your swatch before measuring ensures your finished vest matches the size guide.
