The Lana Grossa Slipover in Dodici is a sleeveless sweater vest designed as a pullover garment. This piece features a classic V-neck construction and is available in multiple sizes ranging from 36/38 up to 48/50, making it suitable for various body measurements. The slipover is worked primarily in stockinette stitch with decorative eyelet patterning integrated throughout the design.
This slipover is constructed using a bottom-up, worked flat approach for the main body pieces, with specific sections then worked in the round. The back and front panels are knitted separately in a flat construction method, allowing for precise shaping at the shoulders and neckline. The garment employs seamed construction, with shoulder and side seams sewn together after the individual pieces are completed. The neckband and armhole bands are picked up and worked in the round using circular needles, creating a finished edge treatment.
The slipover incorporates several key stitch techniques:
The slipover features a V-neck opening created by binding off center stitches and then working each side of the front separately with strategic decreases. The neckline shaping involves binding off 2 stitches at the center, followed by decreasing 1 stitch at each neck edge on every right-side row 10 times, then every alternate right-side row 8 times. Shoulder shaping is worked symmetrically on both the back and front pieces through bind-off sequences. The armhole bands are picked up and worked in ribbed pattern with decreases at the center V to maintain the garment's structure.
The Lana Grossa Slipover in Dodici is worked in Lana Grossa Dodici yarn, a blend of 65% cotton, 25% viscose, and 10% linen. This fiber composition creates a breathable, drape-friendly fabric suitable for a sleeveless garment. Yardage requirements range from 250 grams (approximately 550 meters) for the smallest size to 400 grams (approximately 880 meters) for the largest size, with the yarn providing 110 meters per 50-gram ball.
Needles required include size 3 mm and size 5 mm straight needles for working the flat pieces, and a size 3 mm circular needle for picking up and working the neckband and armhole bands in the round. The color used in the pattern is Beige (color 18).

the pattern as translated to English is incredibly difficult to understand. I am an intermediate to expert knitter and it took me along time to figure out much of the pattern.
