Mandarin Blues
Excerpt from Knitter’s 68, “Serenity is yours in this soft blue tunic. The neckline detailing and stitch patterns hint of an eastern influence. The relaxed silhouette is framed by simple garter stitch trims. We chose to leave the side seams partially open; seam yours to a length that fits your style, or use a button closure …”
A straight, hip length tunic with drop shoulder, long sleeves and a v-neck cross-over yoke neckline. The hemline, neckline and cuffs are worked in garter stitch, with the neckline picked-up form the body and worked on. The yoke features a knit/purl box-type pattern stitch while the body and sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch.
