1.
Using stitch-markers helps with the repetition of counting stitches and the
changes between purl and knit stitches (especially at the neck-edge).
2.
Sewing up and reinforcing seams: Using a wool needle (a bodkin or a tapestry

needle will suffice) butt the side seams together and carefully over-sew the
sides together working from the Wrong Side (WS). Fig. 3.
Be careful to match and sew together at least one ridge of garter stitch at
the under-arm. This will neatly reinforce the arm-hole. If the centre garter
stitching at the base of the V-neck is not as tidy as you would like, pull the
sides of the V together as a tiny seam matching ridge-lines of the garter
stitch. Fig. 5.
Bury ends of wool in the knitted wool fabric and cut after blocking. Aim not
to use knots at the start and end of seams.
Joining yarn. The wool for this project is tough enough not to need knots or
felted joins. Simply lay the wool from the new ball alongside the last of the
old ball so that there is a 10cm overlap. Keep working the pattern and
maintain even tension while knitting with the two strands until the last of the
pld is used up. Once the garment is blocked, loose ends can be cut.
4.
Washing and blocking the Slip-Over:
dY
3.
You will wash the slip-over once in a wool-wash and lay it out flat to dry. Use
strong pins (T-pins are useful) to shape the work into straight lines. This is
called blocking. Fig.4.

GENERAL NOTES ON WORKING THE TIN SHED YARNS SLIP-OVER
Figure 1 Back Left Shoulder.
Figure 2 Slip-Over showing shoulder

finish.
Once the garment is dry, un-pin and sew the side seams. Dampen the slipover lightly along the finished seam-lines (I use spray fabric conditioner).
5.
Buttons:
he
Once completely dry and blocked, the buttons can be sewn on to match the
button-holes.
You will need four 10mm buttons. Place each one opposite its corresponding
button-hole and sew in place using a sewing needle and sewing thread.
Fasten the shoulder button-holes. Fig.3.
