The light and airy slipover is decorated with a repeated leaf pattern, which creates a beautiful  structure emphasizing a classic fit.   The slipover is worked from the bottom up. Rib edges are worked along the neckline, down the  body- and sleeve hems.   The leaf pattern is formed by repeating sequences of yarn overs and decreases, creating a vertical  row of leaves. It is a timeless slipover and ideal to put over a dress or a shirt.
