Pattern Notes:
This sweet little tunic is knit from the bottom up in the round. Instructions are given for one colour or three. The A-line shape is achieved with decreases and box pleats before the back and front are separated, then worked back and forth in stockinette stitch. The shoulders are grafted together with Kitchener Stitch. Stitches are picked up for the neckband and sleeves, which are finished in garter stitch. Take care when using bright colours together; some may bleed into each other during blocking ~ check the yarn label.
