The Florafetti Slipover is a fantastic layering piece! “Floral confetti” – embroidered flowers – is added on a stockinette background. The open sides of the slipover allow for easy movement and look great over T-Shirts and blouses alike.

Florafetti is knit flat from the top down. After you work the front and back panels, the shoulders are seamed and the rib collar is knit. Short tabs are added at each side to connect the front and back. Last, but not least, both sides are embroidered with flowers!

SIZES
1 (2, 3, 4, 5) 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Finished bust circumference: The front and back are the same width. Bust circumference depends on the length of the tabs at the side. We recommend that you measure across your chest at the fullest point and choose Crossback width of at least 5 cm / 2” more than this. You can then create the tabs to the length that you find most comfortable.
