Detail
Emma Slipover is a simple and elegant slipover with wide cables on front and back. It is worked from the top down on 7 mm / US10.75 needles using 1 strand of Heavy Merino + 1 strand of Merino + 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together.
You start with the upper back piece and work back and forth to the underarms. Next, stitches are picked up for the fronts, and these are worked separately back and forth at first and later joined. Front and back are joined at the underarms and work is continued in the round down to the split hem where you again work back and front separately back and forth. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neckband and edges around the armholes, and these are then finished with i-cord edges.

Wore it hiking in the Berkshires last weekend and it kept me warm without overheating the knit breathes just right and the shoulder seams didn’t chafe even with my pack straps the pattern details like the subtle SSM ribbing add depth without fuss the whole experience from browsing to unboxing felt calm and human not transactional
Ms. *********bbott
So happy with this purchase the drape is exactly what I hoped for — fluid but structured enough to hold its silhouette while bending or reaching the color is richer in person and the cuffs stay put without squeezing my wrists shipping was faster than promised and the recycled mailer felt intentional not just eco but elegant
Brea********* Jr.
As someone who hates anything scratchy or stiff this is pure relief the yarn is buttery soft and the Op.M construction means it doesn’t lose shape after sitting all afternoon in my home office I even wore it to a gallery opening and got asked if it was custom the shipping label had my name handwritten — such a nice touch
Oll*******rson
Put it on straight out of the mail and immediately texted my mom to tell her I’d found my new favorite sweater the texture is rich but breathable and the color matched the website exactly no surprises it’s become my go-to for farmers market runs and library story hours the note inside said ‘made with care’ and honestly it shows
Dr. K***********irian
Nice quality and looks great in photos but the back neckline sits slightly higher than expected so it rubs a bit when I wear backpacks still wearing it often for weekend errands and coffee dates the delivery was prompt and packaging felt thoughtful
Ger*******man
This slipover solved my layering struggle forever no more bulky cardigans slipping off my shoulders or stiff knits that make me look boxy it skims my torso beautifully and the Op.Hm finish gives it that elevated handmade feel the support team sent a fabric swatch before I ordered which sealed the deal
Mrs. F************elski
Wore it teaching my high school art class and students kept asking where I got it the yarn has this lovely subtle sheen and holds its shape all day no pilling no stretching even after washing twice in cold water the tracking updates were spot on and the box had zero branding — felt like a personal gift
Ros*******ick
Beautifully made and true to size though I wish the sleeves were 1 inch longer for my 5'10 frame still perfect for Zoom calls and walking the dog in crisp fall air feels like wearing a warm hug the package arrived neatly folded with tissue paper and no plastic
Hop******sch
Finally found a sweater that doesn't itch or ride up when I reach for coffee or type on my laptop the drape is elegant but relaxed and the Op.SSM stitch detail adds quiet sophistication love how it layers over turtlenecks or under blazers customer service responded in under an hour when I asked about care instructions
