Comfortable and stylish, you can wear this tunic all year long. Because it’s worked in one piece from the top down, you can easily customize the length to make a top, a tunic, or a dress.

Yarn requirements:
370 (420, 470, 520, 590, 640) yds in A (yoke color)
630 (730, 780, 880, 990, 1100) yds in B (body color)

Sample shown in Dragonfly Fibers Pixie Black Is Black (A) and Firecracker (B).

Finished measurements: 28 (32, 36, 40, 44, 48) inches around the bust.

Karelia is meant to fit with between 2 and 6 inches of negative ease because the fabric is very stretchy. For a more relaxed fit, knit the size closest to your actual bust size. The sample has a finished measurement of 32 inches around the bust and is being worn by a model with a 36-inch bust.
