This woman’s tunic is on the longer side and pairs well over leggings. A contrasting color panel down the center front features a moss stitch hearts motif. The same moss stitch hearts motif is used on a panel that encircles the bottom of the tunic and on a panel that joins the front and back at the neck and shoulders, extending down the dolman three-quarter length sleeves. The sleeves are knit as one with the front and back. The panel that joins the front and back splits at the neck edge to form a boat neck opening. The bottom of the sleeves are edged in seed stitch, coordinating with the seed stitch in the moss stitch hearts panel. The body of the tunic is shaped in at the waist, creating a lovely silhouette that is seamed at the sides. The pattern size range is S (M, L, XL) to fit chest sizes 36 (40, 44, 48) inches. The contrasting moss stitch heart panel can be worked in a completely different color from the body or the same color but a darker or lighter shade of the body.
