Knitting For Olive | Eton Slipover Pattern & Yarn Pack
A Timeless Knitted Classic
A modern nod to vintage style, the Eton Slipover is a refined take on the traditional cricket vest. This smart, cabled V-neck slipover is perfect for layering and adds a polished touch to any outfit. Designed to be knit from the top down using two strands of Knitting for Olive Merino, this pattern combines structure with softness for an effortlessly elegant finish.
The back and front pieces are worked flat at first, then seamlessly joined at the underarms before continuing in the round. Classic cable motifs and clean ribbed details make this vest a satisfying project for knitters who love traditional textures. The contrast-colour ribbed V-neck and armholes give the piece a charming vintage twist.
Whether you’re knitting for someone special or adding to your own wardrobe, the Eton Slipover is a versatile piece that’s as fun to make as it is to wear.
Our Eton Slipover Pattern & Yarn Pack includes 5 balls of base colour, 1 ball of accent colour, and a digital pattern.
