SLIP-OVER INSTRUCTIONS - BASIC TANK TOP STYLE
In its simplest form, easy enough for even the beginning knitter/crocheter, this vest is made from 2 rectangles with a ‘shoulder strap’ attached on each side.
The finished size of the garment should be 3" longer than it is wide. The shoulder strap is included in the total length
IMPORTANT -
(1) these garments may be worn next to the skin - we need to use very soft yarn
(2) the armhole needs to be large enough that these can be worn over t-shirts..
(3) yarn weight - whatever equates roughly to 2 strands of fine baby yarn
(4) should be a bit stretchy - try a needle or hook size larger than called for
Since SLIP-OVERS are needed for ages 3 to teen, I have created the following chart
BODY SHOULDER TOTAL ARMHOLE
RECTANGLE STRAP LENGTH LENGTH
11x12" 2x2" 15" 4"
13x14" 3x3" 17" 5"
14x15" 3 wide x 4" 18" 6"
15x16" 3 wide x 4" 19" 6"
16x17" 3 wide x4" 20" 7"
The above dimensions are meant as a rough guide only - slight variations are fine as long as the neck and armholes are large enough for the size of the garment.
