Knit a fabulous tunic!
I really do love tunics don’t you? This one is literally an easy breezy one to knit too.
A staggered eyelet pattern, knitted from the bottom up and in the round. The middle part of the body is slightly decreased for a bit of shaping.
The front and back upper part of the body/armhole section are knitted flat from the armholes on up to the neckline. Only the shoulders do get seamed or if you prefer, do a 3 needle bind off.
For sizes 34/36/38/40/42/44/46/48/50/52/54” in bust with a built in positive ease of about 8”.
The length is fully adjustable in parts 5 and 6 of the written instructions to either add or take a bit away.
This pattern was test knitted and I like to thank all the wonderfully TEST KNITTERS so much for their enthusiastic work and help!
