Pattern Notes:

Pattern written using US terms.

For the tutorial photos, I am making the size MEDIUM.

Tunisian Knit Stitch tutorial.

Edging is made with Front Post/Back Post stitches.

For sizing, the width should be slightly smaller than your bust.

The “backward pass” has been omitted from the pattern. Work the backward pass as normal for each row. (YO, pull through only the first - outside - loop, then YO pull through two, YO pull through two to end)

Sizes: (XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL)
