Scrap yarns can be used in different ways. Use multiple colours for stripes, make wider or narrower stripes or use additional scrap yarn for ribbing and i-cord. The chest circumference can be adjusted even when finishing by making the edges wider or narrower. 

CONSTRUCTION
This slipover is knitted from the top down. It starts with a Provisional Cast-On from the back. The back shoulder line is then shaped with short rows in ribbing and, after that, continued in striped Broken Brioche. The back piece is worked until the hem length, then the hem ribbing is worked. The front is started with a Provisional Cast-On and the shoulders and neckline are shaped with short rows. The neck is finished with an applied i-cord. The sides are finished with ribbing and the stitches are picked up and knitted from the sides. The sides are finished with an I-Cord Bind-Off and joined together by sewing.
