A versatile tunic knitted in a practical but warm wool/cotton blend DK weight yarn.

Sounds good, doesn’t it? Add buttoned sides and we’ve pretty much ticked all the boxes! The icing on the cake is that there are no sewn seams!!

Worked from the bottom upwards, the shoulders are joined using the 3 needle bind off technique. The button and buttonhole packets are picked up and knitted outwards and then the neckband and armhole borders are worked on a circular needle in the round.

The armhole borders are worked with flattering shaping and picked-up through the double thickness underarm fabric so that the buttons can be worn undone if preferred.

This is a great multi-season garment which can be worn with jeans or over a gathered linen dress - a great capsule wardrobe piece for all seasons!

Model featured with 13 cm / 5” positive ease.

Yarn: 3 3: 4: 4: 4: 4: 5: 5 x 100g Big Bio Balance
