Knitting For Olive | Christmas Morning Slipover Pattern & Yarn Pack
The Christmas Morning Slipover is a warm and whimsical addition to the Knitting for Olive 2025 Christmas collection. Sweet little presents wrapped with i-cord bows line the hem, adding a playful seasonal touch that feels festive without being over the top.
Worked from the bottom up, the slipover combines flat and in-the-round construction, using one strand of Merino held together with Soft Silk Mohair for a soft, lightweight fabric with a cosy halo. The finished piece is easy to layer over dresses, shirts, or long sleeves—perfect for holiday gatherings, family photos, or simply bringing a bit of cheer to everyday winter outfits.
Our Christmas Morning Slipover Pattern & Yarn Pack includes 1 x Merino (MC) in Limestone and 1 x Soft Silk Mohair (MC) in Marzipan, CC1 and CC2 yarns in Petroleum Green and Claret colourways, and a digital pattern. This size is suitable for 1-year-old kids. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern size.
