Note: This wrap-tunic is worked in an easy texture pattern, with the reverse side of the pattern used for the trim and ties. The back and two fronts are made separately then sewn together. The fronts begin with only a few stitches; stitches are gradually added inside the border along the center to shape the front edges. Miniature ruffles edge the front edges and puff sleeves.
