PetiteKnit Novice Slipover – Knitting Kit (Mode at Rowan Colourmix)
Designed by PetiteKnit
The Novice Slipover by PetiteKnit is a beautifully simple, modern vest designed as the perfect introduction to garment knitting. Worked top‑down in stockinette stitch, this clean and wearable design features a relaxed fit, neat ribbed edges, and smooth construction that makes it ideal for beginner knitters ready to take the next step.
Knitted in Mode at Rowan Colourmix, this version of the slipover offers a soft, lightweight fabric with subtle colour variation built directly into the yarn — creating a gently striped effect with no extra effort.
The slipover construction is thoughtfully designed to build confidence:
- The back yoke is worked first
- Stitches are picked up for the shoulders and front
- The body is joined and worked in the round
- Ribbing is added to finish the neck and armholes
Helpful step‑by‑step video tutorials are available to guide you through the process, making this a truly supportive project for new garment knitters.
