Hattara is a classic tunic with its stripes and single pocket, but just like little girls, it also surprises. The upper back lace panel adds both romance and colour - you can choose the yarns and colours to suit the little girl in your life.

Even though intarsia might be a scary word don’t worry; as long as you can keep the yarn balls/skeins separate it’s as easy as ‘normal’ knitting. Everything else is kept as simple as possible in this tunic: Hattara is worked seamlessly from the top down. The upper body is worked flat with shoulders shaped with raglan increases; after separating the sleeves from the body the tunic is joined to knit on the round. After finishing the body the sleeve stitches are picked up again and the sleeves are knitted in the round down to the cuffs.

To finish the buttonbands are knitted and the neck is finished with i-cord finishing. The last thing to knit, and the only thing to sew, is the pocket.
