This is a wonderfully lightweight tunic perfect for summer wearing! Knit flat, the shoulder seams are attached with a 3-needle-bind-off after a stockinette tube is strung on the strap. Long lengths of i-cord are threaded through the sides for added elegance.

Sizes:
Small: 32-34” chest & 14.5-15“ cross-back
Medium: 36-38” chest & 16-16.5“ cross-back
Large: 40-42” chest & 17-17.5“ cross-back
X-Large: 44-46” chest & 17.5“ cross-back

The length without the strap measurement is 28” for all sizes. I recommend measuring from top of shoulder to mid-thigh, subtracting your strap height and dividing that number by 2.5“ to calculate how many diamond repeats you’ll need to knit for your desired length. Please note that each diamond repeat uses 6 yards of yarn.
