Holiday Slipover Tank / Vest Pattern by PetiteKnit

Holiday Slipover Tank / Vest Pattern by PetiteKnit via The Gilliangladrag LYS Ravelry Store.

The gorgeous Holiday Slip-over is perfect to chuck over a long sleeved top or layer up with another cardigan to keep warm. It has deep armholes and is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch.

First the back of the yoke is worked, then the shoulders, then the front of the yoke and finally the body. A split rib edge where the back section is worked a bit longer than the front section is worked at the hem. Rib edges are worked at the neck edge and along the armholes at the end, and finished with an Italian cast-off for a neat and lovely finish.
Knit a swatch before beginning the project to check if the recommended needle size gives you the correct gauge. Note that three strands of yarn are held together throughout the pattern for a chunky look (two strands of aran weight yarn and one strand of lace weight yarn).

Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL

Size guide
Holiday Slip-over is designed to have approx. 6 cm [2¼ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 6 cm [2¼ inches] larger in circumference than your chest measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a chest circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-50 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 inches]. Before beginning your project, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust to determine which size will fit you the best.

For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or the widest part on your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a bust circumference of 96 cm [37¾ inches], which in the given example would give you 5 cm [2 inches] of positive ease.
If you would like a more oversize fit, chose a size larger than you would normally do.
