The Novice Slipover is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. First the back yoke is worked, and then stitches are picked up and knitted along the cast-on edge of the back yoke for the shoulders, which are worked and then joined together to form the front yoke.
The back and front yoke are joined at the underarm to form the body, which is worked in the round on a circular needle. Rib edges are worked along the armholes and the neck edge at the end. There are help videos of all the steps in the pattern on this page.
Size guide
The Novice Slipover is designed to have approx. 17 cm [6¾ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 17 cm [6¾ inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 inches].
Before beginning your project, measure yourself to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a bust circumference of 107 cm [42¼ inches], which in the given example would give you 17 cm [6¾ inches] of positive ease.

Petite Knit Novice Slipover - Knitting Pattern / Kit

Published Thursday, 17 September 20264.5 out of 5Beautiful yarn to work with. It’s a wee bit splitty but that could be due to my sharp needles. That garment is knitting up to be very soft and not at all scratchy. Great colour range to choose from. I have Blue Hydrangea. Also the customer service is great@

Published Thursday, 3 September 20265 out of 5Purchased this to make the Novice cardigan - mohair edition by Petite Knits, & its a great option with its mohair, silk, & wool content. Preferable to Rowan lace & a bit more fluffy.

Published Thursday, 20 August 20265 out of 5This is the third garment where I have used Tynn Silk Mohair paired with another yarn. For a fluffy skinny yarn it is very nice to knit, it mostly hitches itself to the yarn it is paired with. The effect is lovely, adding a cuddly softness to the garment and really ramps up the warmth. The colour range is broad and I have used it to both alter and match the other yarns I used. I feel the completed garment is easily worth my money and effort.

Published Saturday, 20 June 20265 out of 5This is one of my 'go to' mohair yarns when double stranding. The wool content adds a light touch of extra robustness, the yarn is delicious and soft and gives me the halo I'm after. Highly recommend
