Uddybende information

The Silje Slipover is a timeless and minimalistic design created by Anna Hamann Axelsen, perfect for knitters who appreciate clean lines, top-down construction and a modern wardrobe staple. The slipover is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch on 5.5 mm needles, giving you the freedom to adjust the length as you go. The shoulders are shaped with German short rows for a smooth and comfortable fit, and the pattern is available in sizes XXS to 5XL with a recommended positive ease of 20–25 cm for a relaxed, flattering silhouette.

The design offers two yarn options. The first is a luxurious combination of ANYDAY Merry from Mayflower (150 m per 50 g) held together with Amaryllis from Infinity Hearts (275 m per 50 g). This pairing creates a soft, airy fabric with a gentle halo, making the slipover light yet warm. The second yarn option is Nepal from Drops, with a yardage of 75 m per 50 g, ideal for a firmer, denser and more structured look. Depending on the size, Merry is used in amounts of 200–300 g and Amaryllis in 150–250 g, while Nepal is used in 400–650 g. The required gauge is 15 stitches and 23 rows per 10 x 10 cm on 5.5 mm needles, ensuring the correct drape and fit.

The yardage per 50 g is as follows: Merry 150 m, Amaryllis 275 m and Nepal 75 m, providing flexibility whether you prefer a lighter or warmer garment. The Silje Slipover features elegant details such as the ribbed neckline and armhole edges worked on 4.5 mm needles, finished with a polished Italian bind-off for a refined and professional look. The bottom rib on the body is worked on 5 mm needles. Thanks to the top-down construction, the slipover can easily be tried on during the process, allowing you to adjust the length for a perfect personal fit.

This pattern is suitable for intermediate knitters or adventurous beginners looking to learn short rows and top-down shaping. The Silje Slipover is a versatile piece that pairs beautifully with shirts, dresses or long-sleeved tops, making it an essential layering garment for year-round use. Its understated elegance and soft structure make it a long-lasting addition to any handmade wardrobe.
