The Opale slipover can be worn as a top for a spring look, or as a slipover for the transitional seasons. It is knit from the bottom up in the round in a pretty diamond lace stitch. The back and front pieces are then separated and knit flat. The neckline is created using short rows, which are then worked into the collar. The ruffles on the shoulders are worked last, after the shoulders have been joined.

Advanced beginner level: the Opale knitting pattern is not complicated to knit but still contains some techniques necessary for a nice drape, making it a perfect 2nd knitting project.

Wool: Merino Silk Lise Tailor (yardages are indicated below)

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you still have doubts before you get started?
We've compiled the most frequently asked questions here to guide you. And if you still can't find your answer, check out our full FAQ below.

Are the patterns suitable for beginners?

We always indicate the skill level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) on each product page. If you're a beginner, choose stockinette stitch patterns with fewer specific techniques. And above all: take your time 💓

Our models for complete beginners: Rosée DK, Rosée Cumulus, Lyvie or the Gaby slipover.

Step-by-step assembly videos accompany all our knitting and crochet patterns to clearly visualize each step.

Are the patterns sent in paper or PDF format?

Our patterns are available as downloadable PDFs immediately after purchase. You can print them at home or view them on a tablet.

How to choose the right size?

Each pattern includes a measurement chart and ease instructions (more or less room). We recommend measuring a sweater you already like and comparing it to the final measurements given in the pattern.

What are positive and negative ease?

Ease refers to the difference between your bust measurement and the final garment size.

Positive ease: the garment is larger than your measurements → loose and comfortable fit.
Negative ease: the garment is smaller than your measurements → the knit stretches and hugs the body (like a ribbed sweater).
It is therefore normal that the recommended size does not correspond to your ready-to-wear size: always rely on the measurements indicated in the pattern. Example: if the pattern indicates a positive ease of 5cm and your bust measurement is 95cm, you should choose the size closest to 100cm (i.e., 95 + 5).

Is the sample really necessary?

Yes, absolutely. It allows you to check your tension and achieve the correct final size. Even with the recommended needles, every knitter knits differently. Don't hesitate to adjust the needle size (larger or smaller) according to your tension to obtain the correct gauge.
