“The Wheel of Fortune” is a high-hip A-line tunic with 3-4cm/1-1.5” of positive ease in the bust.
The tunic has a vertical decorative panels along the side seams. Start with circular yoke (flat sideways in garter stitch, using short-rows for shaping and creating the print). Then pick up sts from the yoke, raise the back for a better fit and separate for the body & sleeves.
Main body is knit top down flat in 2 pieces (Back +Front). The pieces are then joined at sideseams with decorative elements worked sideways in garter stitch. Finish hem and neckline with either I-cord. In addition, adult sizes №3-14 have instructions for horizontal bust darts (optional, but highly recommended for better fit).
