The Cherry Blossoms Tunic features cabled pattern around yoke and upper arms, adding a cheery injection of pink and blue stripes at slightly flared bottom part. For this seamless Tunic, you begin with the neck and knit top down. As this knitwear is designed with a turtleneck, it is very easy to start. The big advantage of working top down is that you can adjust the length of the garment and sleeves to suit your needs.
Pull it on with jeans for a laid-back look that’s ideal for any season walks or just chilling out at home.
