Here's my finished knitted slipover.
Pattern is Winslow by WYS. A 'flat' knit and seamed slipover. I knitted it in WYS FABLE. A stunning British yarn. It has Falkland wool, British Mohair and British Alpaca. It's so soft!!
Alterations I made from the pattern.
1. Rib was Twisted Rib (knitting in the back loop on a purl) to try and make 1x1 rib neater.
2. The transition from Rib to Stocking stitch had a special row inbetween to stop the 'bump' from appearing that often happens between Rib and Stocking stitch. I used @RoxanneRichardson video
youtu.be/bVLCXu8w3uM?si=SdiIM5WxcfW3G__G. for this. It works brilliantly.
3. The pattern is traditional with regard to shoulder shaping, so stairs are created as you cast off. I was unhappy with the look when I began to 'mattress' stitch together, so I frogged back and, again watched another super video from Roxanne on eliminating the stairs by doing them as short rows. This then natually leads into a 3 needle bind off. Which as you can see from the video makes for a STUNNING finish.

4. I added a lot of length before the armpit as I'm 6'4.
