Jennifer Shiels Toland’s Riptide Slipover is an elegant little vest, perfect worn on its own or sized up to wear as a layering piece. The versatile cropped design is worked in one piece from the top down, with a simple textured lace central panel in the front and back. The armhole edges run seamlessly into the side broken rib panels to the front split hem. The Fibre Co Acadia (60% Merino, 20% alpaca, 20% silk) is a beautiful, textured 2-ply with a sheen granted by the silk noil.

Each kit includes sufficient yarn for the size specified in the color of your choice, along with the pattern. We will purchase a copy of Riptide Slipover for you via Ravelry, so you will automatically receive both a printed copy and an emailed PDF. If you would also like to have this pattern in your Ravelry library, please note your Ravelry ID (not your password!) in the "Notes" field in your cart!
Please note that this kit does not include needles. You will need a US5 32” circular needle to knit everything except the neckband and a US3 16” circular or US3 DPNs to knit the neckband (or size needed to achieve gauge). If you don't already have the appropriate needles at home, you can shop Spun's selection of circular needles here and DPNs here.
