Finished Size
Bust Measurement is 32” (36”, 40”, 45”, 48”,

Notes
Use small hook for XS, M, and XL sizes; use
large hook for S, L, and 2X sizes. Construct
tunic by connecting all the snowflakes first, then
fill in each void with a joining motif. After all the
motifs are connected, block before finishing.
Tunic opens in front. One size can accommodate
many, depending on how far you overlap
the tunic fronts.
