Betty Slipover

Betty Slipover knitting pattern by Milotté. Available in English, Norwegian, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Swedish and Danish.

Betty Slipover is worked from the top down. It begins with a few rows worked back and forth, which form the small opening at the shoulder. The stitches are then joined in the round, and the yoke is worked in stockinette stitch with evenly spaced increases. The yoke is bound off, and stitches are picked up for a wave border in seafoam pattern, the same border as on Betty Scarf. The neckline and the shoulder opening are finished with an I-cord edge, and the opening is tied with two I-cord ties in a small bow. The neckline is wide and rests at the collarbone.
