This is the worsted version of the Willa Slipover, a slightly boxy top, worked in Chevron Moss Stitch. It is a perfect piece for layering, but it can also be worn by itself.

Front and back hems are worked separately and flat, then joined in the round. Body is worked bottom-up and in the round, then divided for front and back. Both upper front and back are knit flat. A few short rows are knit in Stockinette Stitch at the shoulders for a better fit. Shoulders are graft together using the 3-Needle Bind Off Method. Stitches are picked up for both neckband and arm openings.
