I liked Daisy so much I thought I would design another linen tunic. This one is sleeveless and the sides are a bit longer then the front and back. Once again I used Shibui Linen. I absolutely love this linen, if you haven’t tried it I highly recommend it! This tunic is perfect for your warm weather wardrobe. It looks great with leggings, capris, shorts or would be good as a swim suit cover up.

Sizes:
Finished bust: 29 (32.5, 35.5, 39.5, 42.5, 46, 49, 52.75, 56.25, 59.25, 62.25)“. Size 33” modeled with 1” negative ease.
Materials:
Yarn: Shibui Linen, 100% linen; 225m (246 yds) per 50g skein; color: #115 Brick, 5 (5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 10, 10, 11, 13, 14) skeins, 1066 (1223, 1357, 1703, 1797, 1950, 2350, 2460, 2706, 3113, 3314) yds.
Needles: Sizes 9/5.5mm and 10.5/6.5mm 24” circular needles.
Other: Stitch markers, stitch holders, locking marker or safety pin, size G/4mm crochet hook, tapestry needle.
Gauge: 16 sts and 22 rows = 4” in Stockinette Stitch on smaller needles with 2 strands of yarn held together, washed and dried on low. 19.5 sts and 24 rows = 4” in Stockinette Stitch on smaller needles with 2 strands of yarn held together, not washed.

Notes: This pullover is constructed from the top down in one piece with short-row shoulder shaping. Hold 2 strands of yarn together throughout pattern. You may leave out the back decreases if desired. You will have 6 extra sts which will work with the Twisted Rib Stitch, since it is based on a multiple of 3.
