In the Tunney’s Pasture Tunic shells are framed by post stitches to create a bold, textured fabric that is still light-wearing. The ribbed hem adds more texture, while the 3/4 sleeves make this a great garment for three-season wear.

The sample in the photographs is size S/M and was crocheted with Drops Cotton Light in brown. Possible yarn substitutions can be found here.
