Willow Tunic
I’d like to offer 20% discount for my new pattern - now through midnight on 1 September Eastern time zone. Coupon code Willow
‘Willow’ has multiple options you can choose from:
• work it as a tunic or a dress;
• straight or A-line silhouette;
• with/without elongated back.
The pattern is worked top-down in the round, so you can easily try it on and decide on the length in the process. You start with a circular yoke with all-over lace, then continue in reverse stockinette (I will show how to switch to knitting instead of purling, if you prefer!) and finish with lace trim at the bottom.
I recommend minimal positive ease (2-5cm/1-2”) at the bust. You can ensure the right fit by working bust darts (provided for sizes 3-10).
YARN:
sport-weight yarn with high linen content (300-350m/330-370yds per 100g/3.5oz)
Yardages per size are provided in the Sizing & Yardage table below.
- The sample was knit out of Millefili ‘Lin tube’ (100% linen; 300m/330yds per 100g/3.5oz; chain-plied).
- Suggested substitutes: Schoppel-Wolle ‘El Linio’ and Knit Picks ‘Lindy Chain’.
You can also use yarn with classic construction, as long as you can get gauge, but yardages may vary.
NEEDLES:
3.25/US 3 (or size to get stockinette gauge) circulars on a ~60-80cm/24-32” cable.
GAUGE (PER 1010CM/ 44” AFTER WET-BLOCKING)
