I’m currently having trouble paying through Ravelry, my patterns can be purchased on Boosty (see the link in Source)On this site you pay for the post, it contains a PDF file with the English version of the pattern. I will also send you the pattern via Ravelry so that it will be saved in your library throughout the day. Sorry for the temporary convenience

CONSTRUCTION AND SCHEMATIC

The tunic has an A-line silhouette
with an elongated back. The yoke has raglan construction, with short-row neck shaping
(to raise the back & lower the front for a round ~9 cm/ 3.7” deep neck opening).
It is worked top-down in the round, in one piece with sleeves worked down from the live edge of the yoke.
It is intended to fall at the hipline in the front and ~10 cm-15/4-6” lower in the back for an average height of 168 cm/ 5’7”.
It is decorated with a large lace panel over the back & smaller motifs along the hem & cuffs, that can be embellished with beads.

YARN:

180-350 g/6.3-12.3 oz of lace-weight (800-1000 m/880-1100 yds per 100 g/3.5 oz) kid-mohair on silk or polyamide (see the size chart below for detailed yarn amount). The sample was knit out of Italian cone yarn. Test-knitters have successfully substituted for

  • Sleeves: if you know you knit tighter - go up 1 needle size to 3.75 mm/US 5. You can use either magic loop, or DPNs, or 9” circulars
