Thea Slipover is an oversize vest with a short fit. It is spacious, deliciously soft and with a fine lace pattern on the front and back. Thea Slipover is worked from the bottom up on a circular needle. At the armholes, the slipover is divided into a front and back piece, which are knitted separately back and forth on the circular needle. Finally, knit rib edges in the neck opening and armholes.
