Nadine is a beautiful and fluffy slipover with a round neckline and a fantastic all-over pattern knitted with beads. The slipover is knitted in ‘Handdyed Fat Mohair’ and is worked from the top down. The beads are placed on a stitch using a crochet hook, after which the stitch is knitted as usual.
First, the back is knitted. At the beginning, short rows are knitted to shape the shoulders. Once the upper part of the back is knitted, increases are made for the armholes, after which the lower part of the back is knitted and finished with a beautiful ribbing. Then stitches are picked up along each shoulder, and the two front pieces are knitted separately while shaping the neckline. Once the neckline is shaped, the front pieces are joined together and knitted with increases for the armholes, similar to the back. After the increases, the lower part of the front piece is knitted, finishing with a beautiful edge. Throughout the work, a beautiful pattern with beads is knitted. Finally, the sides are sewn together, and a ribbing is knitted at the neckline.
Also available as a KIT with yarn, beads, and pattern.
