Limone Slipover
Named after Limone sul Garda, the little lemon town on the shores of Lake Garda – and the slipover feels just like it. Sunny, fresh, and effortlessly Italian. The Limone Slipover is a cropped slipover knitting pattern with a regular fit, a classic crew neck, and clean 1x1 ribbing. Knitted in Tykk Line from Sandnes Garn, a crisp cotton-linen blend made for warm days. Layer it over a tee or shirt, or wear it on its own as a cool summer top – it works both ways, all season long. Easy to knit, easy to wear, and exactly what your summer wardrobe was missing.

The slipover is worked seamlessly from the top down. You start with the back piece before picking up stitches for each shoulder separately and shaping the neckline opening with increases. The front and back pieces are joined under the armhole and the body is worked in the round. The armhole ribbing is worked by picking up stitches.
