The Skylah tunic makes for a great summer top. Do me a favor and add the pattern to your faves. I would very much appreciate it. It’s casual, contemporary and romantic, knitted in a wonderfully smooth organic cotton yarn in a DK weight, the kits are atYarnz2go.

It offers a flattering fit and feels super comfortable. Knitted in one piece and in the round from the bottom up, getting separated under the arm, from where it gets knitted flat.

Beautiful lace is featured in the very bottom and the very top. The length hits right above the hip. Fully adjustable for individual lengths.

For bust sizes ranging from 34/36/38/40/42/44/46/48/50/52/54/56” with a built-in positive ease of 4.25” to 7”.

The written pattern has a schematic, charts and a how to video link, it was tech edited and test knitted.
